Athaliah Is Executed

2 Chronicles 23:12-15

But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.

And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.

Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.

So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there.
