2 Chronicles 23:12-15 - Athaliah Executed

¹² Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king. She entered into the house of Jehovah to the people. ¹³ She saw the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance. The captains and the trumpeters were beside the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers with their musical instruments lead the praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and said: This is treason! Treason!

¹⁴ Jehoiada did not want Athaliah killed in the Temple area. He called out the army officers and said: Take her out between the rows of guards. Kill anyone who tries to rescue her. ¹⁵ They seized her and took her to the palace. There at the Horse Gate they killed her.
