Matthew Henry · Verses 13–16
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.
2 Kings 11:16
So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
