2 Kings 11:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ Then all the protectors took up their weapons and went to their posts—on the right and left of the palace, by the temple and its altar, and around the king.

¹² Jehoiada then escorted the king’s son and placed the crown atop his head. He gave him the testimony of dedication, and he anointed Joash as king. In that moment, his kingship was made official. Then every one clapped and cheered.

¹³ Athaliah heard the loud noise that the guards and the people were making, and she went to meet everyone who was in the Eternal’s temple.
