13 When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and athose who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, b“Treason! Treason!”
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.
