2 Kings 11:15-17
International Standard Version
Athaliah is Executed(A)
15 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains in charge of[a] the army, “Take her out the back way[b] and execute anybody who follows her,” since the priest had also issued this order: “Let’s not put her to death in the Lord’s Temple.” 16 So they arrested Athaliah, took her out through the same entrance used by the horses for entering the king’s palace, and executed her.
A Covenant is Made(B)
17 Then Jehoiada entered into a covenant with the Lord, the king, and the people, that they would live as the Lord’s people, and also entered into a covenant with the king and the people.
