2 Chronicles 23:13-15
Good News Translation
13 There she saw the new king at the Temple entrance, standing by the column reserved for kings and surrounded by the army officers and the trumpeters. All the people were shouting joyfully and blowing trumpets, and the Temple musicians with their instruments were leading the celebration. She tore her clothes in distress and shouted, “Treason!

15 They seized her, took her to the palace, and there at the Horse Gate they killed her.
