Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people ,
she came to the people into the temple of the LORD .
*
And when she looked ,
behold ,
the king stood by a pillar ,
as the manner was ,
and the princes and the trumpeters by the king ,
and all the people of the land rejoiced ,
and blew with trumpets :
and Athaliah rent her clothes ,
and cried ,
Treason ,
Treason .
*
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds ,
the officers of the host ,
and said unto them ,
Have her forth without the ranges :
and him that followeth her kill with the sword .
For the priest had said ,
Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD .
*
And they laid hands on her ;
and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king '
s house :
and there was she slain .
*
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people ,
that they should be the LORD '
S people ;
between the king also and the people .
*
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal ,
and brake it down ;
his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly ,
and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars .
And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD .
*
And he took the rulers over hundreds ,
and the captains ,
and the guard ,
and all the people of the land ;
and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD ,
and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king '
s house .
And he sat on the throne of the kings .
*
And all the people of the land rejoiced ,
and the city was in quiet :
and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king '
s house .
