17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, [a]and the King and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people: likewise between the [b]King and the people.
18 Then all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it with his altars, and his images brake they down courageously, and slew Mattan the Priest of Baal before the [c]altars: and the [d]Priest set a guard over the house of the Lord.
