2 Kings 11:12

10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields which had belonged to King David, ^athat were in the temple of the Lord.

11 Then the escorts stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, all around the king, from the right¹ side of the temple to the left side of the temple, by the altar and the house.

12 And he brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, and gave him the ^aTestimony; they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, ^b“Long live the king!”

Death of Athaliah

13 ^aNow when Athaliah heard the noise of the escorts and the people, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord.

14 When she looked, there was the king standing by ^aa pillar according to custom; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. So Athaliah tore her clothes and cried out, “Treason! Treason!”

Testimony - The book of the law, which he put into the king's hand, to mind him of his duty at his entrance upon his kingdom, which was to read and write out that holy book, Deuteronomy 17:18, and to govern himself and his kingdom by it: the law of God being frequently and most properly called a testimony, because it is a witness of God's will, and man's duty.
