Contextual Overview

12Then Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, so she came into the house of Yahweh to the people. 13And she looked, and behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the commanders and the trumpeters were beside the king. And all the people of the land were glad and blew trumpets, the singers with their musical instruments leading the praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!" 14Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were appointed over the military force and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "You shall not put her to death in the house of Yahweh." 15So they laid hands on her, and when she arrived at the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, they put her to death there. 16Then Jehoiada cut a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they would be the people of Yahweh. 17And all the people came to the house of Baal and tore it down, and his altars and his images they broke in pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18And Jehoiada placed the assignments concerning the house of Yahweh in the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had divided by lot to be over the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses—with gladness and singing according to the order of David. 19And he caused the gatekeepers of the house of Yahweh to stand, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean. 20And he took the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of Yahweh, and they came through the upper gate to the king's house. And they sat the king upon the royal throne. 21So all of the people of the land were glad, and the city was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
