"Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:"
— 2 Chronicles 23:12, Bible in Basic English
“When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:”
Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.
And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.
Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.
Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:
And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!
Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.
