All the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet, now that Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the king’s house.
Anyone who sheds the blood of a human being, by a human being shall that one’s blood be shed; For in the image of God have human beings been made.
When she saw the king standing by the column, as was the custom, and the captains and trumpeters near the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, Athaliah tore her garments and cried out, “Treason, treason!”
All the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet, now that Athaliah had been slain with the sword.
When the just prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
When the just flourish, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
