2 Kings 11:11-13

New Century Version

Joash Becomes King

¹¹ Then each guard took his place with his weapons in his hand. There were guards from the south side of the Temple to the north side. They stood by the altar and the Temple and around the king. ¹² Jehoiada brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him and gave him a copy of the agreement. They appointed him king and poured olive oil on him. Then they clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!”

¹³ When Athaliah heard the noise of the guards and the people, she went to them at the Temple of the Lord.
