23:19 He posted guards at the gates of the Lord’s temple, so no one who was ceremonially unclean in any way could enter.
23:20 He summoned 1 the officers of the units of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of land, and he then led the king down from the Lord’s temple. They entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the royal throne.
23:21 All the people of the land celebrated, for the city had rest now that they had killed Athaliah. 2
