2 Kings 11:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Jehoiada the priest gave a command to the captains who were in charge of the soldiers. Jehoiada told them, “Take Athaliah outside of the Temple area. Kill any of her followers, but don’t kill them in the Lord’s Temple.”

¹⁶ So the soldiers grabbed Athaliah and killed her as soon as she went through the horse’s entrance to the palace.

¹⁷ Then Jehoiada made the agreement between the Lord and the king and the people. This agreement showed that the king and the people belonged to the Lord. Jehoiada also made the agreement between the king and the people.
