And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 11 of 2 Kings. Athaliah discovers Joash’s proclamation and cries, "Treason! Treason!" The narrative irony is evident: the woman who had usurped the throne accuses those restoring the legitimate heir of treason. Jehoiada orders her removed from the temple before she is executed. The scene shows that Judah’s revolution is not merely about replacing one person with another; it seeks to remove the usurper and her influence from the center of worship and government. The narrative therefore keeps dynastic legitimacy, worship, and religious faithfulness together.

und sah. Siehe, da stand der König an der Säule, wie es Gewohnheit war, und die Obersten und die Drommeter bei dem König; und alles Volk des Landes war fröhlich, und man blies mit Drommeten. Athalja aber zerriß ihre Kleider und rief: Aufruhr, Aufruhr!
Y como miró, he aquí el rey que estaba junto a la columna, conforme a la costumbre, y los príncipes y los trompetas junto al rey; y que todo el pueblo del país hacía alegrías, y que tocaban las trompetas. Entonces Athalía, rasgando sus vestidos, clamó a voz en grito: ¡Traición, traición!
Vio al rey de pie junto a la columna, según la costumbre, con los jefes y los trompeteros junto a él. Todo el pueblo del país estaba alegre y tocaban las trompetas. Atalía rasgó su ropa y gritó: «¡Traición, traición!».
Elle regarda. Et voici, le roi se tenait sur l'estrade, selon l'usage; les chefs et les trompettes étaient près du roi: tout le peuple du pays était dans la joie, et l'on sonnait des trompettes. Athalie déchira ses vêtements, et cria: Conspiration! conspiration!
E riguardò; ed ecco il re, che stava in piè sopra la pila, secondo il costume, e i capitani e i trombettieri erano presso del re, e tutto il popolo del paese era allegro, e sonava con le trombe. Allora Atalia si stracciò le vesti, e gridò: Congiura, congiura.
E olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto à coluna, conforme o costume, e os príncipes e os trombeteiros junto ao rei, e todo o povo da terra estava alegre e tocava as trombetas; então Atalia rasgou as suas vestes, e clamou: Traição! Traição!
她觀看,看哪,王照儀式站在柱旁,百夫長和號手在王旁邊,國中的眾百姓歡樂吹號。 亞她利雅 就撕裂衣服,喊著說:「反了!反了!」
