Jehoiada's Reforms
16
And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king that they should be the LORD's people.
17
Then all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces, 1and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18
And Jehoiada posted watchmen for the house of the LORD under the direction of 2the Levitical priests and the Levites 3whom David had organized to be in charge of the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, 4as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, 5according to the order of David.
19
He stationed 6the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD so that no one should enter who was in any way unclean
20
And he took the captains, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD, marching 7through the upper gate to the king's house. And they set the king on the royal throne.
21
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been put to death with the sword
