2 Chronicles 23:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Then Jehoiada told the men where to stand. Every man had his weapon in his hand. They stood around the king, near the altar and the Temple. They stood from the south side of the Temple to the north side.

¹¹ Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son. And they put the crown on him. They gave him a copy of the law. Then they appointed him king and poured olive oil on him. Then they shouted, “Long live the king!”

¹² Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king. So she went to them at the Temple of the Lord.
