¹⁶And Jehoiada maketh a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to Jehovah; ¹⁷and all the people enter the house of Baal, and break it down, yea, his altars and his images they have broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars. ¹⁸And Jehoiada putteth the offices of the house of Jehovah into the hand of the priests the Levites whom David had apportioned over the house of Jehovah, to cause to ascend the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as written in the law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David; ¹⁹and he stationeth the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of Jehovah, and the unclean in anything doth not go in. ²⁰And he taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the honourable ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and bringeth down the king from the house of Jehovah, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom. ²¹And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city hath been quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword.
