13 When Ath·a·liʹah heard the sound of the people running, she immediately came to the people at the house of Jehovah.+ 14 Then she saw the king standing there by the pillar according to the custom.+ The chiefs and the trumpeters+ were with the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing the trumpets. At this Ath·a·liʹah ripped her garments apart and cried out: “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!” 15 But Je·hoiʹa·da the priest commanded the chiefs of hundreds,+ those appointed over the army, and said to them: “Take her out from among the ranks, and if anyone follows her, put him to death with the sword!” For the priest had said: “Do not put her to death in the house of Jehovah.” 16 So they seized her, and when she reached the place where the horses enter the king’s house,*+ she was put to death there.
