12 And Athaliah will hear the voice of the people running and praising the king, and she will come to the people in the house of Jehovah. 13 And she will see, and behold, the king standing upon his standing in the coming in, and the chiefs and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoicing, and they clanged upon the trumpets; and those singing with instruments of the song, and those knowing to praise. And Athaliah will rend her garments and say, A conspiracy! a conspiracy! 14 And Jehoiada the priest will bring forth the chiefs of hundreds reviewing the army, and he will say to them, Bring her forth from the house of the ranks: and he coming after her shall be slain with the sword: for the priest said, Ye shall not slay her in the house of Jehovah. 15 And they will put hands upon her, and she will come to the entrance of the gate of horses of the king's house; and they will slay her there. 16 And Jehoiada will cutout a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to Jehovah. 17 And all the people will come to the house of Baal, and they will pull it down, and they broke his altars and his images, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 And Jeboiada will set the oversight of the house of Jehovah in the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David distributed over the house of Jehovah, to bring up the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as was written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with song, by the hands of David. 19 And he will cause the gate-keepers to stand at the gates of the house of Jehovah, and the unclean shall not come in to all the word. 20 And he will take the chiefs of hundreds, and the powerful, and those ruling over the people, and all the people of the land, and he will bring down the king from the house of Jehovah: and they will come in the midst of the highest gate of the king's house: and they will set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. 21 And all the people of the land will rejoice: and the city rested; and they killed Athaliah with the sword. 2 Chronicles 23:12-21, Smith's Literal Translation.
