14. And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
15. And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.
16. And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the Lord.
17. And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18. And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.
19. He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20. And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king's house, and set him on the royal throne.
21. And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
