15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
15 So they seized her as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate on the palace grounds, and there they put her to death.
15 So they laid hands on her,
15 So they dragged her out to the palace's horse corral and there they killed her.
15 So they seized her; and she went by way of the entrance of the Horse Gate into the king's house, and they killed her there.
15 So they seized her and led her out to the entrance of the Horse Gate on the palace grounds, and they killed her there.

Joash crowned, and Athaliah slain.
To look upon ourselves and each other as the Lord's people, should make us earnest in the discharge of our duty both to God and man. Thus was this happy revolution brought about, and the people rejoiced. When the Son of David is enthroned in the soul, all is quiet, and joyful. See 2 Kings 11.
