2 Kings 11:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, and also between the king and the people. ¹⁸ Then all the people of the land entered the house of Baal and broke down its altars. His images they thoroughly broke in pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

The priest put appointees over the house of the Lord. ¹⁹ He took the captains of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land. Then they brought down the king from the house of the Lord and marched through the gate of the guards to the king’s house. Then he sat on the throne of the kings.
