13 Then Athaliah heard the sound of the people running. And entering to the crowd at the temple of the Lord,
14 she saw the king standing upon a tribunal, according to custom, and the singers and trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing and sounding the trumpets. And she tore her garments, and she cried out: 'Conspiracy! Conspiracy!'
15 But Jehoiada gave orders to the centurions who were over the army, and he said to them: 'Lead her away, beyond the precinct of the temple. And whoever will have followed her, let him be struck with the sword.' For the priest had said, 'Do not allow her to be killed in the temple of the Lord.'
16 And they laid hands on her. And they pushed her through the way by which horses enter, beside the palace. And she was killed there.
17 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between the Lord, and the king and the people, so that they would be the people of the Lord; and between the king and the people.
