14 And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of the Lord.”
15 So they seized her; and she went by way of the entrance aof the Horse Gate into the king’s house, and they killed her there.
16 Then Jehoiada made a acovenant between himself, the people, and the king, that they should be the Lord’s people.
17 And all the people went to the1 temple of Baal, and tore it down. They broke in pieces its altars and images, and akilled Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the Lord to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had aassigned in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the bLaw of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David.
19 And he set the agatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter.
