וַתִּשְׁמַע עֲתַלְיָהוּ אֶת־קוֹל הָעָם הָרָצִים וְהַֽמְהַלְלִים אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתָּבוֹא אֶל־הָעָם בֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃
Now when ῾Atalyahu heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord:
Now when ῾Atalyahu heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord:
וַתֵּרֶא וְהִנֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ עוֹמֵד עַֽל־עַמּוּדוֹ בַּמָּבוֹא וְהַשָּׂרִים וְהַחֲצֹצְרוֹת עַל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכׇל־עַם הָאָרֶץ שָׂמֵחַ וְתוֹקֵעַ בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת וְהַמְשֽׁוֹרְרִים בִּכְלֵי הַשִּׁיר וּמוֹדִיעִים לְהַלֵּל וַתִּקְרַע עֲתַלְיָהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדֶיהָ וַתֹּאמֶר קֶשֶׁר קָֽשֶׁר׃ {ס}
and she looked, and behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music leading the celebration. Then ῾Atalyahu rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

קשר קשר. מרד מרד:
“Treason! Treason!” Rebellion! Rebellion!
עומד על עמודו. כדאמר (לעיל ב') ויעמוד המלך על העמוד כי עשה שלמה כיור נחשת וגו' ויעמד עליו ויברך על ברכיו (שם) ועד היום מנהג כשמוועדים יחד עומד המלך או הדוכוס במקום גבוה כדי שיוכלו לראותו לשמוע את דברו:
standing on his stand as it says (above 6:12f.): “And he stood before the altar of the Lord, etc. for Solomon had made a copper laver, etc., and he stood on it and kneeled on his knees.” It is still customary today that when they assemble together, the king or the duke stands on a high place, so that they should be able to see him and hear his words.
