In Context

9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.

10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.

11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, |Long live the king!|

12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:

13 and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, |Treason! treason!|

14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, |Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.| For the priest said, |Don't kill her in the Yahweh's house.|
