10 The priest gave to the commanders of hundreds King David’s spears and shields that were in the Lord’s temple.
11 Then the guards stood with their weapons in hand surrounding the king — from the right side of the temple to the left side, by the altar and by the temple.
12 He brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the testimony, and made him king. They anointed him and clapped their hands and cried, “Long live the king! ”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise from the guard and the crowd, she went out to the people at the Lord’s temple.
14 As she looked, there was the king standing by the pillar according to the custom. The commanders and the trumpeters were by the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed “Treason! Treason! ”
15 Then Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Take her out between the ranks, and put to death by the sword anyone who follows her,” for the priest had said, “She is not to be put to death in the Lord’s temple.”
16 So they arrested her, and she went through the horse entrance to the king’s palace, where she was put to death.
