2 Chronicles 23:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ Jehoiada appointed gatekeepers for the gates of the Lord’s temple so that no one who was unclean ^[a] for any reason could enter.

²⁰ He took the company commanders, the nobles, the people’s governors, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the Lord’s temple. They went through Upper Gate to the royal palace and seated the king on the royal throne. The nobles, the governors of the people, and ²¹ all the people of the land were celebrating. But the city was quiet because they had killed Athaliah with a sword.
