2 Kings 11:9-13

New International Version

⁹ The commanders of units of a hundred did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men—those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest. ¹⁰ Then he gave the commanders the spears and shields^(A) that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of the Lord. ¹¹ The guards, each with weapon in hand, stationed themselves around the king—near the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.

¹² Jehoiada brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him; he presented him with a copy of the covenant^(B) and proclaimed him king. They anointed^(C) him, and the people clapped their hands^(D) and shouted, “Long live the king!”^(E)

¹³ When Athaliah heard the noise made by the guards and the people, she went to the people at the temple of the Lord.
