Athaliah Is Executed

2 Kings 11:13-16

And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,

She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a conspiracy.

But Joiada commanded the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.

And they laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, and she was slain there.
