2 Chronicles 23:12-21
12And when AthaliahH6271 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 runningH7323 and praisingH1984 the kingH4428, she cameH935 to the peopleH5971 intoH413 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: 13and she lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, the kingH4428 stoodH5975 by his pillarH5982 at the entranceH3996, and the captainsH8269 and the trumpetsH2689 by the kingH4428; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055, and blewH8628 with trumpetsH2689; the singersH7891 also played on instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892, and led the singingH7891 of praiseH1984. Then AthaliahH6271 rent herH3605 clothesH899, and saidH559, TreasonH7195, treasonH7195. 14And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 broughtH935 outH3318 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 that were setH935 over the host, and saidH559 unto them, Have herH413 forthH3318 between the ranksH7713; and whoso followeth herH413, letH3808 him be slain with the swordH2719: for the priestH3548 saidH559, SlayH4191 herH413 notH3808 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 15SoH935 they madeH7760 way for herH413; and she wentH935 to the entryH3996 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 to the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and they slew herH413 there. 16And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 betweenH996 himself, and allH3605 the peopleH5971, and the kingH4428, that they should be the LORD’SH3068 peopleH5971. 17And allH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and brake it downH5422, and brake his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 in piecesH7665, and slewH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. 18And JehoiadaH3077 appointedH7760 the officesH6486 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 underH5921 the handH3027 of the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, whomH834 DavidH1732 had distributed in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to offerH5927 the burntH5930 offeringsH3068 of the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, with rejoicingH8057 and with singingH7892, accordingH5921 to the orderH3027 of DavidH1732. 19And he setH5975 the porters at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, that noneH3808 whichH1697 was uncleanH2931 in anyH3605 thingH1697 should enterH935 in. 20And he tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, and the noblesH117, and the governorsH8269 of the peopleH5971, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and broughtH935 downH3381 the kingH4428 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and they cameH935 throughH8432 the upperH5945 gateH8179 unto the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and setH935 the kingH4428 uponH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4467. 21SoH4191 allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 rejoicedH8055, and the cityH5892 was quietH8252: and they slew AthaliahH6271 with the swordH2719.
