13 And she looked and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entrance and the princes and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced and sounded with trumpets, and those that knew how to praise sang with instruments of music. Then Athaliah rent her clothes and said, Treason, Treason.
14 Then Jehoiada, the priest, brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host and said unto them, Remove her from the order of the house, and whoever follows her, let them be slain with the sword. For the priest had commanded, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.
15 So they laid hands on her, and she entered into the entrance of the horse gate of the king’s house, and they slew her there.
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him and between all the people and between the king that they should be the Lord’s people.
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and broke it down and broke in pieces his altars and his images and slew Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars.
18 Also Jehoiada ordered the offices of the house of the Lord under the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
19 He also set the porters at the gates of the house of the Lord so that there should be no way for anyone who was unclean to enter in.
