2 Kings 11:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ The guards stood with their weapons in their hands from the southern side of the temple to the northern side of the temple by the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.

¹² He brought the king’s son out and put a crown on him. He gave him the testimony, and they proclaimed him as king and anointed him, clapping their hands and proclaiming, “Long live the king!”

¹³ When Athaliah heard the noise from the guard and the people, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord.
