18 And all the people of the land went to the atemple of Baal, and tore it down. They thoroughly bbroke in pieces its altars and1 images, and ckilled Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And dthe priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.
19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, the bodyguards, the escorts, and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and went by way of the gate of the escorts to the king’s house. Then he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword in the king’s house.
21 Jehoash was aseven years old when he became king.
