הַ⁠מֶּלֶךְ֩ עֹמֵ֨ד עַֽל־הָ⁠עַמּ֜וּד כַּ⁠מִּשְׁפָּ֗ט

(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_saw and=see/lo/see! the=king standing on/upon the,pillar according,the_custom and,the,officials and,the,trumpets to/towards the=king and=all people the=earth/land rejoicing and,[it_was]_giving_a_blast on,trumpets and,she_tore ˊAtal^yāh DOM clothes_of,her and=she/it_called/named treason treason )

It appears from the text that standing by the pillar (meaning a certain one of the pillars on the temple porch) was a custom or symbolic action by which a new king showed that he would be loyal to Yahweh. (What the later king Josiah did in [23:2](../23/02.md) supports this understanding.) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [the king was standing by the pillar, according to the custom by which new kings expressed their loyalty to Yahweh]

Athaliah is repeating the word Conspiracy in order to intensify her expression of the idea she wishes to convey. If your language can repeat phrases for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. The UST models one way to do that.
