2 Chronicles 23:16-21

16 Y'hoyada made a covenant between himself, all the people and the king, that they would be ADONAI's people.

17 Then all the people went to the house of Ba'al and broke it down; they smashed his altars and images and killed Mattan the priest of Ba'al in front of the altars.

18 Y'hoyada appointed officers for the house of ADONAI under the supervision of the cohanim and L'vi'im, whom David had assigned turns of duty in the house of ADONAI, to offer the burnt offerings of ADONAI, as written in the Torah of Moshe, with rejoicing and singing in keeping with David's orders.

19 He stationed guards at the gates of the house of ADONAI, so that no one who was unclean in any respect could enter

20 He took the captains of hundreds, the men of rank, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of ADONAI, going through the Upper Gate to the royal palace, and seated the king on the royal throne.

21 All the people of the land celebrated, and at last the city was quiet. That is how they killed 'Atalyah with the sword
