11 And they brought out the son of the sovereign and put on him the diadem and the Witness, and set him up to reign. Then Yehoyaḏa and his sons anointed him, and said, “Let the sovereign live!”
12 And Athalyahu heard the noise of the people running and praising the sovereign, and she came to the people in the House of יהוה,
13 and looked and saw the sovereign standing by his column at the entrance. And the chiefs and the trumpeters were beside the sovereign, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with instruments of song, and those who led in praise. Then Athalyahu tore her garments and said, “Treason! Treason!”
14 And Yehoyaḏa the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Take her outside the ranks, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest said, “Do not kill her in the House of יהוה.”
15 So they laid hands on her, and she went by way of the entrance of the Horse Gate into the sovereign’s house, and they put her to death there.
16 Yehoyaḏa then made a covenant – between himself and the people and the sovereign – to be the people of יהוה.
17 And all the people went to the house of Ba‛al, and broke it down. They completely broke up its altars and images, and slew Mattan the priest of Ba‛al before the altars.
