2 Chronicles 23:12-21
12When AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 runningH7323 and praisingH1984 the kingH4428, she wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 to the peopleH5971. 13She lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, the kingH4428 was standingH5975 by his pillarH5982 at the entranceH3996, and the captainsH8269 and the 1trumpetersH2689 were besideH5921 the kingH4428. And allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056 and blewH8628 trumpetsH2689, the singersH7891 with their musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 2leadingH3045 the praiseH1984. Then AthaliahH6271 toreH7167 her clothesH899 and saidH559, “ConspiracyH7195! ConspiracyH7195!” 14And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 broughtH3318 outH3318 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 who were appointedH6485 over the armyH2428, and saidH559 to them, “BringH3318 her outH3318 3betweenH413H4480H1004 the ranksH7713, and whoever followsH935H310 her is to be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 with the swordH2719.” For the priestH3548 saidH559, “You shall not putH4191 her toH4191 deathH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 15So they 4seizedH7760H3027 her, and when she arrivedH935 at the entranceH3996 of 5the HorseH5483 GateH8179 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, they 6putH4191 her toH4191 deathH4191 thereH8033.
16Then 7JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 betweenH996 himself and allH3605 the peopleH5971 and the kingH4428, that they would be the Lord’sH3068 peopleH5971. 17And allH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of BaalH1168 and toreH5422 it downH5422, and they brokeH7665 inH7665 piecesH7665 his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754, and 8killedH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. 18Moreover, JehoiadaH3077 placedH7760 the officesH6486 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 under the 9authorityH3027 of 10the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548, 11whomH834 DavidH1732 had assignedH2505 overH5921 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, to offerH5927 the burntH5930 offeringsH5930 of the LordH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the LawH8451 of MosesH4872--12with rejoicingH8057 and singingH7892 accordingH5921 to the 13orderH3027 of DavidH1732. 19He stationedH5975 14the gatekeepersH7778 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, so that noH3808 one would enterH935 who was in anyH3605 wayH1697 uncleanH2931. 2015He tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, the noblesH117, the rulersH4910 of the peopleH5971, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and broughtH3381 the kingH4428 downH3381 from the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and wentH935 throughH8432 the upperH5945 gateH8179 to the king’sH4428 houseH1004. And they seatedH3427 the kingH4428 upon the royalH4467 throneH3678. 21So 16allH3605 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055 and the cityH5892 wasH8252 atH8252 restH8252. For they had putH4191 AthaliahH6271 toH4191 deathH4191 with the swordH2719.
