2 Kings 11:7-16

⁷And two parts of you all that are relieved on the sabbath, even they shall keep watch in the house of the Lord about the king.

⁸And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranges shall be put to death: and be ye with the king when he goeth out and when he cometh in.

⁹And the captains over the hundreds did in accordance with all that Yohayada' the priest had commanded: and they took every man his men that came in on the sabbath, with those that were to be relieved on the sabbath, and came to Yehoyada' the priest.

¹⁰And the priest gave to the captains over the hundred the spears and shields that had belonged to king David, that were in the house of the Lord.

¹¹And the runners stood every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and within, round about the king.

¹²And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony, and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king.

¹³And when 'Athalyah heard the noise of the runners and of the people, she came to the people in the house of the Lord.

¹⁴And she looked, and, behold, the king stood upon a stand, according to custom, and the princes and the trumpeters were by the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets: and 'Athalyah then rent her clothes, and cried, Conspiracy! conspiracy!

¹⁵But Yehoyada' the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the commanders of the army, and said unto them, Lead her forth to within the ranges: and him that followeth her put to death with the sword. For the priest had said, She shall not be slain in the house of the Lord.

¹⁶And they made way for her; and she went by the way of the entrance of the horses into the king's house: and she was put to death there.
