2 Kings 11:14-16

Living Bible

^13-14 When Athaliah heard all the noise, she ran into the Temple and saw the new king standing beside the pillar, as was the custom at times of coronation, surrounded by her bodyguard and many trumpeters; and everyone was rejoicing and blowing trumpets.

“Treason! Treason!” she screamed, and began to tear her clothes.

¹⁵ “Get her out of here,” shouted Jehoiada to the officers of the guard. “Don’t kill her here in the Temple. But kill anyone who tries to come to her rescue.”

¹⁶ So they dragged her to the palace stables and killed her there.
