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.
18. All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.
