14. Then the priest Jehoiada brought the company commanders who were in charge of the army out ⌊of the temple⌋. He said to them, “Take her out of the temple. Use your sword to kill anyone who follows her.” (The priest had said, “Don’t kill her in the Lord’s temple.”)
15. So they arrested her as she entered Horse Gate of the royal palace, and they killed her there.
16. Jehoiada made a promise to the Lord on behalf of the king and his people that they would be the Lord’s people.
17. Then all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal’s altars and his statues and killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars.
