Old Testament2 KingsThe Death of Athaliah · 11:13–1611:13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.11:14 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.11:15 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.11:16 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.
