10. And he appointed all the people, each with his weapon in his hand from the south side of the house to the north side of the house around the altar and the house.
11. Then they brought out the son of the king and set upon him the crown and gave him the statute and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, “Long live the king!”
12. When Athaliah heard the sound of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people at the house of Yahweh.
13. And she looked and, behold, the king was standing by his column at the entrance, and the commanders and trumpeters beside the king, along with all the people of the land, rejoicing and blowing with trumpets, and the singers with the instruments of song leading the praise. And Athaliah tore her garments and cried, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
14. Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of the hundreds appointed over the troops, and he said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and whoever goes after her shall be put to death with the sword.” For the priest had said, “You must not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
15. And they laid hands on her, and she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the house of the king, and they killed her there.
16. And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
17. Then all the people went to the house of Baal and broke it down. And they smashed his altars and his images, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
