Then Athaliah ^htore her clothes and cried out, “ ⁱConspiracy! Conspiracy!” 15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and whoever follows her, put to death with the sword!” For the priest said, “She is not to be put to death at the house of the Lord.” 16 So they ^{▼▼Lit laid hands on her}seized her, and when ^{▼▼Lit she entered}they brought her to the horses’ entrance of the king’s house, she was ^lput to death there.
