2 Chronicles 23:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Jehoiada put guards at the gates of the Temple of the Lord. Then anyone who was unclean in any way could not enter the Temple.

²⁰ Jehoiada took with him the commanders of 100 men, the important men, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land. They brought the king down from the Temple of the Lord. They went through the Upper Gate into the palace. Then they seated the king on the throne. ²¹ All the people of Judah were very happy. And Jerusalem had peace because Athaliah had been put to death with the sword.
