2 KINGS 11:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.”
Then the priest Jehoiada commanded the commanders of the hundreds who were in charge of the army, 'Bring her out between the ranks, and kill anyone who follows her.' For the priest said, 'Let her not be killed in the house of the LORD.' — Jehoiada's order removes Athaliah from the sanctuary before executing her. The protection of sacred space takes precedence even in her destruction.
