And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,

And Athaliah heard the noise of the couriers and of the people; and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.

And Athaliah heareth the voice of the runners and of the people, and she cometh in unto the people, to the house of Jehovah,

Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;

Then Athaliah heard the sound of the people running. And entering to the crowd at the temple of the Lord,

And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard, and of the people,.... Their acclamations and shouts at the coronation of the king; for by this time the people had some knowledge of the affair, and ran, and came flocking to see the new king, and express their joy on this occasion, and whom they greatly praised, 2-Chronicles 23:12.
she came to the people into the temple of the Lord; the outward court, where the people were assembled; and she seems to come alone, unattended, in great surprise and consternation, and was admitted to pass the guards, being the queen, and alone, and perhaps by the particular order of Jehoiada, though contrary to the general orders he gave, 2-Kings 11:8.

Athaliah hastened her own destruction. She herself was the greatest traitor, and yet was first and loudest in crying, Treason, treason! The most guilty are commonly the most forward to reproach others.

ATHALIAH SLAIN. (2-Kings 11:13-16)
Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people--The profound secrecy with which the conspiracy had been conducted rendered the unusual acclamations of the vast assembled crowd the more startling and roused the suspicions of the tyrant.
she came . . . into the temple of the Lord--that is, the courts, which she was permitted to enter by Jehoiada's directions (2-Kings 11:8) in order that she might be secured.
