12 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD; 13 and she looked, and, behold, the king stood on his platform at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets; the singers also [played] on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said: 'Treason, treason.' 14 And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword'; for the priest said: 'Slay her not in the house of the LORD.' 15 So they made way for her; and she went to the entry of the horse gate to the king's house; and they slew her there. 2 Chronicles 23:12-15, JPS Tanakh 1917.
