Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds, officers of the force, and said unto them, Take her forth within the ranks, and he that cometh in after her let him be slain with the sword, - for, said the priest, Ye must not slay her in the house of Yahweh! So they made way for her, and she came into the entrance of the horse-gate of the house of the king, - and they slew her there. And Jehoiada solemnised a covenant, between himself and all the people, and the king, - that they should become a people unto Yahweh. Then all the people entered into the house of Baal and brake it down, and, his altars and his images, brake they in pieces, - and, Mattan the priest of Baal, they slew, before the altars.


And all the people of the land entered the house of Baal, and brake it down, his altars and his images, brake they in pieces, utterly, and, Mattan the priest of Baal, they slew before the altars, - and the priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh.
