← 2 Chronicles 23:19	2 Chronicles 23:20 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 23:21 →
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none [which was] unclean in any thing should enter in.	And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.	And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
