11. The guards stood each with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.
12. Then he brought the king's son out and put the crown on him and gave him the testimony; and they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, "Long live the king!"
13. When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people in the house of the Lord.
14. She looked and behold, the king was standing by the pillar, according to the custom, with the captains and the trumpeters beside the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, "Treason! Treason!"
15. And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks, and whoever follows her put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord."
16. So they seized her, and when she arrived at the horses' entrance of the king's house, she was put to death there.
17. Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people, also between the king and the people.
