2 Kings 11:15-17
Common English Bible
15 Then the priest Jehoiada ordered the unit commanders who were in charge of the army: “Take her out under guard,”[a] he told them, “and kill anyone who follows her.” This was because the priest had said, “She must not be executed in the Lord’s temple.” 16 They arrested her when she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate at the royal palace. She was executed there.
17 Jehoiada then made a covenant between the Lord, the king, and the people, that the people would belong to the Lord. The king and the people also made a covenant.

New International Version
15 Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops: “Bring her out between the ranks[a] and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the temple(A) of the Lord.” 16 So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter(B) the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.(C)
17 Jehoiada then made a covenant(D) between the Lord and the king and people that they would be the Lord’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.(E)
