Then ^(r)Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people, also ^(s)between the king and the people.

All the people of the land went to ^(t)the house of Baal, and tore it down; ^(u)his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and ^(v)killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed ^[k]officers over the house of the Lord .

He took the captains of hundreds and the ^(w)Carites and the ^[l]guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord , and came by the way of ^(x)the gate of the ^[m]guards to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

So ^(y)all the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.
