2 Chronicles 23:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ He stationed the men with drawn swords all around the front of the Temple, to protect the king. ¹¹ Then Jehoiada led Joash out, placed the crown on his head, and gave him a copy of the laws governing kingship. And so he was made king. Jehoiada the priest and his sons anointed Joash, and everyone shouted, “Long live the king!”

¹² Athaliah heard the people cheering for the king, so she hurried to the Temple, where the crowd had gathered.
