11 Jehoiada and his sons brought the king's son out of the temple room. They put the crown onto Joash's head. They gave him a copy of the royal covenant. They poured olive oil on his head to show that he was now the king. They shouted, ‘May the king have a long life!’
Queen Athaliah dies
12 Queen Athaliah heard the soldiers and the people as they shouted and praised the new king. So she went to the Lord's temple where all the people were. 13 Then she saw the king! He was standing in the king's place beside the pillar at the entrance of the temple.[a] The army officers and the men with trumpets were standing beside the king. All the people of Judah were shouting with joy. There were musicians making music with trumpets and other musical instruments. They helped the people to sing and to praise God.
When Athaliah saw this, she was very upset. She tore her clothes. She shouted, ‘Treason! Treason!’[b]
