2 Kings 11:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ Then all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed its altar and its idols till they were dust. They also killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. Then the priest posted a watch over the House of the Lord.

¹⁹ Then he took the officers of the companies and the Carians and the guards and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the House of the Lord. They entered the king’s palace through the gate of the guards. Then he sat on the throne of the kings. ²⁰ All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah had been put to death with the sword in the king’s palace.
