2 Kings 11:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ So they grabbed her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds. There she was put to death.

¹⁷ Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and people. He had the king and people promise that they would be the Lord’s people. Jehoiada also made a covenant between the king and the people. ¹⁸ All the people of the land went to Baal’s temple. They tore it down. They smashed to pieces the altars and the statues of gods. They killed Mattan in front of the altars. He was the priest of Baal.

Then Jehoiada the priest stationed guards at the temple of the Lord.
