12. And when Athaliah heard the sound of the people running and praising the king, she went toward the people in the temple of the Lord.
13. And she saw the king standing by the pillar at the entrance with the officials and trumpeters next to the king, and all of the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers with their instruments with songs were offering up praise. Then Athaliah tore her garments and yelled, “Treachery! Treachery!”
14. Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders over hundreds, those entrusted over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and let whoever follows her be killed with the sword.” For the priest said, “Do not put her to death in the house of the Lord.”
15. So they seized her, and she went to the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king’s palace, and they put her to death there.
16. And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, the people, and the king that they would be a people dedicated to the Lord.
17. Then all the people went to the temple of Baal, and they tore it down along with its altars, and they shattered its images. And Mattan the priest of Baal, they killed before the altars.
