2 Chronicles 23:12-15 ▼

12 Then Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, so she came into the house of Yahweh to the people.

13 And she looked, and behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the commanders and the trumpeters were beside the king. And all the people of the land were glad and blew trumpets, the singers with their musical instruments leading the praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and said, “Treason! Treason!”

14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were appointed over the military force and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be put to death with the sword.” For the priest said, “You shall not put her to death in the house of Yahweh.”

15 So they laid hands on her, and when she arrived at the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king’s house, they put her to death there.
