2 Chronicles 23:15-21

15 So they caught her when she came to the entrance of the Horse Gate near the palace. There they put her to death.

16 Then Jehoiada made an agreement with the people and the king that they would be the Lord's special people.

17 All the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down, smashing the altars and idols. They killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars.

18 Then Jehoiada chose the priests, who were Levites, to be responsible for the Temple of the Lord. David had given them duties in the Temple of the Lord. They were to offer the burnt offerings to the Lord as the Teachings of Moses commanded, and they were to offer them with much joy and singing as David had commanded.

19 Jehoiada put guards at the gates of the Temple of the Lord so that anyone who was unclean in any way could not enter

20 Jehoiada took with him the commanders of a hundred men, the important men, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land to take the king out of the Temple of the Lord. They went through the Upper Gate into the palace, and then they seated the king on the throne.

21 So all the people of the land were very happy, and Jerusalem had peace, because Athaliah had been put to death with the sword
