2 Chronicles 23:12-14
Common English Bible
12 When Athaliah heard the noise made by the people running and cheering the king, she went to the people at the Lord’s temple 13 and saw the king standing by the royal pillar at the entrance, with the commanders and trumpeters beside the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers accompanied by musical instruments were leading the praise. Athaliah ripped her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
14 Then the priest Jehoiada brought out the unit commanders who were in charge of the army. “Take her out under guard,”[a] he told them, “and kill anyone who follows her.” This was because the priest had said, “She must not be executed in the Lord’s temple.”
