2 Chronicles 23:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Jehoiada the priest sent out the commanders of 100 men who led the army. He said to them, “Surround her with soldiers and take her out of the Temple area. Kill with a sword anyone who follows her.” He had said, “Don’t put Athaliah to death in the Temple of the Lord.” ¹⁵ So they caught her when she came to the entrance of the Horse Gate near the palace. And they put her to death there.

¹⁶ Then Jehoiada made an agreement with the people and the king. They agreed that they would be the Lord’s special people.
