2 Kings 11:13-18
13And when AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the guardH7323 and of the peopleH5971, she cameH935 to the peopleH5971 into the templeH1004 of YhwhH3068. 14And when she lookedH7200, behold, the kingH4428 stoodH5975 by a pillarH5982, as the mannerH4941 was, and the princesH8269 and the trumpetersH2689 by the kingH4428, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8056, and blewH8628 with trumpetsH2689: and AthaliahH6271 rentH7167 her clothesH899, and criedH7121, TreasonH7195, TreasonH7195. 15But JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of the hundredsH3967, the officersH6485 of the hostH2428, and saidH559 unto them, Have her forthH3318 withoutH1004 the rangesH7713: and him that followethH310H935 her killH4191 with the swordH2719. For the priestH3548 had saidH559, Let her not be slainH4191 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 16And they laidH7760 handsH3027 on her; and she wentH935 by the wayH1870 by the which the horsesH5483 cameH3996 into the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and there was she slainH4191.
17And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between YhwhH3068 and the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971, that they should be the Yhwh’sH3068 peopleH5971; between the kingH4428 also and the peopleH5971. 18And all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 wentH935 into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and brake it downH5422; his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 brake they in piecesH7665 thoroughlyH3190, and slewH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. And the priestH3548 appointedH7760 officersH6486H6485 over the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.1
