And when she looked, behold, the king was standing by the pillar according to the custom; and the rulers and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. So Athaliah tore her clothes and cried out, Treason! Treason!

So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

When the righteous multiply, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
