Athaliah Is Executed

2 Chronicles 23:12-15

When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house:

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

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 the LORD’s house.”

So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
