18 And all the people of the land went to the house of the Baal and tore it down. Its altars and images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and Mattan the priest of the Baal they killed before the face of the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of YHWH. 19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Carites, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of YHWH, and they went by way of the gate of the runners to the house of the king. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. For they had killed Athaliah with the sword in the house of the king. 21 Jehoash was a son of seven years in his reigning. 2 Kings 11:18-21, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
