Jehoiada the priest sent out the officers of the units of hundreds, who were in charge of the army, and ordered them,“Bring her outside the temple to the guards. Put the sword to anyone who follows her.” The priest gave this order because he had decided she should not be executed in the LORD’s temple.
They seized her and took her into the precincts of the royal palace through the horses’ entrance. There they executed her.

Jehoiada then assigned the duties of the LORD’s temple to the priests, the Levites whom David had assigned to the LORD’s temple. They were responsible for offering burnt sacrifices to the LORD with joy and music, according to the law of Moses and the edict of David.
He posted guards at the gates of the LORD’s temple, so no one who was ceremonially unclean in any way could enter.
He summoned the officers of the units of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and he then led the king down from the LORD’s temple. They entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the royal throne.
