15 But Je·hoiʹa·da the priest commanded the chiefs of hundreds, the appointed ones of the military force,+ and said to them: “Take her out from inside the rows, and, as for anyone coming after her, let there be an execution of death* with the sword!”+ For the priest had said: “Do not let her be put to death in the house of Jehovah.”

19 Further, he took the chiefs of hundreds and the Caʹri·an+ bodyguard and the runners+ and all the people of the land, that they might bring the king down from the house of Jehovah; and they came gradually by the way of the gate+ of the runners to the king’s house; and he began to sit upon the throne+ of the kings.
