Her reign was marked by idolatry and violence, including the massacre of the royal family to secure her position. The noise she heard was the result of a significant event: the crowning of Joash, the rightful heir to the throne, orchestrated by Jehoiada the priest. This noise signifies a turning point, as it represents the people's support for Joash and their rejection of Athaliah's illegitimate rule. The guards and the people were gathered in the temple, a place of worship and national assembly, indicating a collective movement against Athaliah's tyranny.<p><b>she went out to the people in the house of the LORD</b><br>The "house of the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship and the spiritual heart of Judah. Athaliah's approach to the temple signifies her attempt to confront the situation directly, possibly underestimating the people's resolve and the priest's influence. Her presence in the temple is ironic, given her promotion of Baal worship, contrasting with the temple's dedication to Yahweh. This moment is pivotal, as it sets the stage for her downfall and the restoration of the Davidic line through Joash. The temple's role as a place of refuge and justice is highlighted, aligning with its historical and spiritual significance in Israel's history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/athaliah.htm">Athaliah</a></b><br>The daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, Athaliah was the queen mother of Judah who seized the throne after the death of her son, King Ahaziah.
