2 Chronicles 23:16–21

¹⁶Then Jehoiada made a ^ocovenant between himself, the people, and the king, that they should be the Lord’s people. ¹⁷And all the people went to the ²temple of Baal, and tore it down. They broke in pieces its altars and images, and ^pkilled Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. ¹⁸Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the Lord to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had ^qassigned in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the ^rLaw of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David. ¹⁹And he set the ^sgatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter.

^20tThen he took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the Lord; and they went through the Upper Gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. ²¹So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
