2 Chronicles 23:11 In-Context

9 Jehoiada gave the commanders the spears and the small and large shields that had belonged to King David but were now in God's temple.
10 All the troops stood with their weapons drawn. They were stationed around the king and around the altar and the temple (from the south side to the north side of the temple).
11 Then they brought out the king's son, gave him the crown and the religious instructions, and Jehoiada and his sons made him king by anointing him. They said, "Long live the king!"
12 When Athaliah heard the people running and praising the king, she went into the LORD's temple, where the people were.
13 She looked, and the king was standing by the pillar at the entrance. The commanders and the trumpeters were by his side. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. The singers were leading the celebration with songs accompanied by musical instruments. As Athaliah tore her clothes [in distress], she said, "Treason, treason!"
