16 And Jehoiadah made a covenant between himself and all the people, and between himself and the king, that they should be the LORD'S people. 17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and demolished it, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew the priest of Baal before the altar. 18 Also Jehoiadah appointed officers in the house of the LORD, and the priests and the Levites, whom David had divided into groups, to be in charge of the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David. 19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD SO that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in. 20 And he took the captains of hundreds and the governors of the people and all the people of the land, and they came through the high gate of the king's house and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. 21 And all the people of the land rejoiced, sounding with trumpets, after they had slain Athaliah with the sword. 2 Chronicles 23:16-21, Lamsa Bible.
