17 Then ^aJehoiada cut a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they would be the people of Yahweh, also ^bbetween the king and the people. 18 And all the people of the land came to ^athe house of Baal and tore it down; ^bhis altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and they ^ckilled Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed ¹overseers over the house of Yahweh. 19 And he took the commanders of hundreds and the ^aCarites and the ¹guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of Yahweh, and came by the way of ^bthe gate of the ¹guards to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 20 So ^aall the people of the land were glad, and the city was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king’s house.
