2 Chronicles 23:16-21

16 Yehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD's people.

17 All the people went to the house of Ba`al, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the Kohen of Ba`al before the altars.

18 Yehoiada appointed the officers of the house of the LORD under the hand of the Kohanim the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moshe, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

19 He set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in

20 He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the upper gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. `Atalyah they had slain with the sword
