Contextual Overview
12 When ‘Atalyah heard the sound of the people running and praising the king, she entered the house of Adonai where the people were, 13 looked and saw the king standing there on his platform at the entrance, with the leaders and trumpeters next to the king. All the people of the land were celebrating and blowing the trumpets; while the singers with their musical instruments were leading songs of praise. At this, ‘Atalyah tore her clothes and cried, "Treason! Treason!" 14 Y'hoyada the cohen brought out the captains of hundreds who were in charge of the army and said to them, "Escort her out past the ranks [of guards]; but anyone who follows her, let him be put to the sword." For the cohen had said, "Do not put her to death in the house of Adonai ." 15 So they took her by force and led her by the horses' entry to the king's palace, and there they put her to death. 16 Y'hoyada made a covenant between himself, all the people and the king, that they would be Adonai 's people. 17 Then all the people went to the house of Ba‘al and broke it down; they smashed his altars and images and killed Mattan the priest of Ba‘al in front of the altars. 18 Y'hoyada appointed officers for the house of Adonai under the supervision of the cohanim and L'vi'im, whom David had assigned turns of duty in the house of Adonai , to offer the burnt offerings of Adonai , as written in the Torah of Moshe, with rejoicing and singing in keeping with David's orders. 19 He stationed guards at the gates of the house of Adonai , so that no one who was unclean in any respect could enter. 20 He took the captains of hundreds, the men of rank, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of Adonai , going through the Upper Gate to the royal palace, and seated the king on the royal throne. 21 All the people of the land celebrated, and at last the city was quiet. That is how they killed ‘Atalyah with the sword.
