2 Chronicles 23:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

Athaliah’s Death

¹² When Athaliah heard the noise made by the people who were running and praising the king, she went to the crowd of people at the House of the Lord. ¹³ She looked, and there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officials and the trumpeters were beside the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing the trumpets. The singers with their musical instruments were leading the praise. Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”

¹⁴ Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders who were in charge of the units of a hundred in the army. He told them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Anyone who follows her is to be put to death with the sword,” but the priest also told them, “You must not put her to death in the House of the Lord.”
