2 KINGS 11:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.”
When she saw the king standing by the pillar, as the custom was, with the commanders and the trumpeters beside the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, 'Treason! Treason!' — Athaliah's recognition of the coup and her cry of treason mark the moment of her political extinction. Her torn garments express her despair.
