Settings

10 He stationed all the people, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.
11 Then they brought out the king's son and put the crown on him, and gave him 1the testimony and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, "2Long live the king!"

Athaliah Murdered

12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came into the house of the LORD to the people.
13 She looked, and behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpeters were beside the king. And all the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets, the singers with their musical instruments leading the praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"
14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, "Bring her out between * * the ranks; and whoever follows * her, put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "Let her not be put to death in the house of the LORD.
15 So they seized * her, and when she arrived at the entrance of 3the Horse Gate of the king's house, they 4put her to death there.

Reforms Carried Out

16 Then 5Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they would be the LORD'S people.
17 And all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down, and they broke in pieces his altars and his images, and 6killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Moreover, Jehoiada placed the offices of the house of the LORD under the authority of 7the Levitical priests, 8whom David had assigned over the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses -9with rejoicing and singing according to the order of David.
19 He stationed 10the gatekeepers of the house of the LORD, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean
20 11He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the LORD, and came through the upper gate to the king's house. And they placed the king upon the royal throne.
