21 So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 23:21

To look upon ourselves and each other as the Lord's people, should make us earnest in the discharge of our duty both to God and man. Thus was this happy revolution brought about, and the people rejoiced. When the Son of David is enthroned in the soul, all is quiet, and joyful. See 2 Kings 11.
