11:13-16
Athaliah heard that something was going on, she went to the temple, saw Joash in position and the people rejoicing. She was in distress. \jehoiada took charge and ordered her arrest and the killing of anyone who was following her. However, she was not to be killed in the temple.
11:17-21
Jehoiada did what a priest was meant to do, bringing the people back to God. Athaliah was slain and there was hope for the land, returning to God was the key factor. \joash took his place on the royal throne. He was only seven years old.
