2 Kings 11:13-15
New English Translation

13 When Athaliah heard the royal guard[a] shout, she joined the crowd[b] at the Lord’s temple. 14 Then she saw[c] the king standing by the pillar, according to custom. The officers stood beside the king with their trumpets, and all the people of the land were celebrating and blowing trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason, treason!”[d] 15 Jehoiada the priest ordered the officers of the units of hundreds, who were in charge of the army,[e] “Bring her outside the temple to the guards.[f] Put to death by the sword anyone who follows her.” The priest gave this order because he had decided she should not be executed in the Lord’s temple.[g]

Footnotes

  1. 2 Kings 11:13 tc The MT reads, “and Athaliah heard the sound of the runners, the people.” The term הָעָם (haʿam), “the people,” is probably a scribal addition anticipating the reference to the people later in the verse and in v. 14.
  2. 2 Kings 11:13 tn Heb “she came to the people.”
  3. 2 Kings 11:14 tn Heb “and she saw, and look.”
  4. 2 Kings 11:14 tn Or “conspiracy, conspiracy.”
  5. 2 Kings 11:15 tn The Hebrew text also has, “and said to them.” This is redundant in English and has not been translated.
  6. 2 Kings 11:15 tn Heb “ranks.”
  7. 2 Kings 11:15 tn Heb “for the priest had said, ‘Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.’”
