Expanded Bible

¹³ She looked, and there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance [^Ca symbolic place of authority]. The ·officers [commanders] and the trumpeters were standing beside him, and all the people of the land were ·happy [rejoicing] and blowing trumpets. The singers were playing musical instruments and leading the ·praises [celebration]. Then Athaliah tore her clothes [^Ca sign of mourning or distress] and screamed, “·Traitors! Traitors! [Treason! Treason!]”

¹⁴ Jehoiada the priest sent out the ·commanders [officers] of a hundred men, who ·led [were in charge of] the army. He said, “Surround her with soldiers and take her out of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] area. Kill with a sword anyone who follows her.” He had said, “Don’t put Athaliah to death in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord.” ¹⁵ So they ·caught [seized] her ·when she came [or and took her] to the entrance of the Horse Gate near the ·palace [^Lhouse]. There they put her to death.
