2 Kings 11:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² Then he brought out the king’s son, put the royal crown on him, presented him with the Testimony,^[a] and installed him as king. They anointed him, applauded, and said, “May the king live!”

He was accompanied by the commanding officers, along with trumpeters who stood beside the king. All the people of the land sounded trumpets in their excitement.

But Athaliah tore her clothes and bellowed, “It’s a plot! A conspiracy!”
