Expanded Bible

¹⁹ He took with him the ·commanders [captains] of a hundred men and the ·Carites [^Cmercenaries; v. 4], the royal bodyguards, as well as the guards and all the people of the land. Together they ·took [brought; escorted] the king out of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and went into the ·palace [king’s house] through the gate of the guards. Then the king sat on the ·royal throne [throne of the kings]. ²⁰ So all the people of the land ·were very happy [rejoiced], and Jerusalem ·had peace [was quiet/calm], because Athaliah had been put to death with the sword at the ·palace [^Lking’s house].

²¹ Joash was seven years old when he became king.
