Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the people of the land rejoiced,.... That one of the house of David was set upon the throne, which they might fear was extinct, as it very near was; the lamp of David was almost quenched, only this single life left, from whom a line of kings proceeded, and the King Messiah; the promise of God cannot fail see Psalms 132:11, this occasioned great joy:

and the city was quiet: was very easy at, yea, pleased with, the dethroning and death of Athaliah; there was no tumult on account thereof, nor such disturbances as she occasioned in her life:

and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house; as related in 2 Kings 11:16 where she was buried, or what became of her carcass, is not said; some have thought she was cast into the brook Kidron, because Josephus says h Jehoiada ordered her to be had into that valley, and there slain.

h Antiqu. l. 9. c. 7. sect. 3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They slew Athaliah with the sword - This is one of the many little repetitions which mark the manner of the writer, and which generally contain some little point which has not been mentioned before (compare 2 Kings 11:16).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 11:20. The people - rejoiced — They were glad to get rid of the tyranny of Athaliah.

And the city was in quiet — She had no partisans to rise up and disturb the king's reign.
