2 Chronicles 23:12-21
12Now when AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 runningH7323 and praisingH1984 the kingH4428, she cameH935 to the peopleH5971 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068: 13And she lookedH7200, and, behold, the kingH4428 stoodH5975 at his pillarH5982 at the entering inH3996, and the princesH8269 and the trumpetsH2689 by the kingH4428: and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056, and soundedH8628 with trumpetsH2689, also the singersH7891 with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, and such as taughtH3045 to sing praiseH1984. Then AthaliahH6271 rentH7167 her clothesH899, and saidH559, TreasonH7195, TreasonH7195.1 14Then JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 brought outH3318 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 that were set overH6485 the armyH2428, and saidH559 unto them, Have her forthH3318 of the rangesH7713H1004: and whoso followethH310H935 her, let him be slainH4191 with the swordH2719. For the priestH3548 saidH559, SlayH4191 her not in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 15So they laidH7760 handsH3027 on her; and when she was comeH935 to the enteringH3996 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 by the king’sH4428 houseH1004, they slewH4191 her there.
16And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between him, and between all the peopleH5971, and between the kingH4428, that they should be Yhwh'sH3068 peopleH5971. 17Then all the peopleH5971 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and brake it downH5422, and brakeH7665 his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 in piecesH7665, and slewH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. 18Also JehoiadaH3077 appointedH7760 the officesH6486 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 by the handH3027 of the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, whom DavidH1732 had distributedH2505 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, to offerH5927 the burnt offeringsH5930 of YhwhH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, with rejoicingH8057 and with singingH7892, as it was ordained byH3027 DavidH1732.2 19And he setH5975 the portersH7778 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, that none which was uncleanH2931 in any thingH1697 should enter inH935. 20And he tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, and the noblesH117, and the governorsH4910 of the peopleH5971, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and brought downH3381 the kingH4428 from the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068: and they cameH935 throughH8432 the highH5945 gateH8179 into the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and setH3427 the kingH4428 upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4467. 21And all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055: and the cityH5892 was quietH8252, after that they had slainH4191 AthaliahH6271 with the swordH2719.
