Athaliah Is Executed

2 Kings 11:13-16

When 'Atalyah heard the shouting of the guard and the people, she entered the house of ADONAI where the people were,

looked and saw the king standing there on the platform, in keeping with the rule, with the leaders and trumpeters next to the king. All the people of the land were celebrating and blowing the trumpets. At this 'Atalyah tore her clothes and cried, "Treason! Treason!"

Y'hoyada the cohen ordered the captains of hundreds, the army officers, "Escort her out past the ranks [of guards]; but anyone who follows her, kill with the sword." For the cohen had said, "She must not be put to death in the house of ADONAI."

So they took her by force and led her through the horses' entry to the royal palace, and there she was put to death.
