11:13 When Athaliah heard the royal guard 1 shout, she joined the crowd 2 at the Lord’s temple.
1 tc The MT reads, “and Athaliah heard the sound of the runners, the people.” The term הָעָם (ha’am), “the people,” is probably a scribal addition anticipating the reference to the people later in the verse and in v. 14.
2 tn Heb “she came to the people.”
