2 Chronicles 23:12 Cross References - NSB

¹² Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king. She entered into the house of Jehovah to the people.

³² Then, looking up to the window, he said: »Who is on my side, who?« Two or three eunuchs look out at him. ³³ He said: »Take her and throw her out the window.« So they threw her down with force. Her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses. She was crushed under their feet. ³⁴ He came in and ate and drank. He said: »Now see to this cursed woman. Bury her body in the earth, for she is a king's daughter.« ³⁵ They went to bury her, but they found nothing to bury. There were only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts of her hands. ³⁶ So they came back and told him about it. He said: »This is what Jehovah said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs. ³⁷ »‘The dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel. They will not be able to say: »This is Jezebel.«’«

¹³ Queen Athaliah heard the noise being made by the guards and the people. She hurried to the Temple, where the crowd had gathered. ¹⁴ There she saw the new king standing by the column at the entrance of the Temple, as was the custom. The officers and the trumpeters surrounded him, and the people were all shouting joyfully and blowing trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes in distress and shouted: »Treason! Treason!« ¹⁵ Jehoiada the priest did not want Athaliah killed in the Temple area. He ordered the army officers: »Take her out between the rows of guards, and kill anyone who tries to rescue her.« ¹⁶ They seized her and took her to the palace. There at the Horse Gate they killed her.
