2 Reis 11:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 11:14

And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as
the manner was
Of kings, when they came into the temple on any occasion, civil or religious, therefore it is called his pillar, ( 2 Chronicles 23:13 ) ( 2 Kings 23:3 ) ( 2 Chronicles 34:1 ) , some think this was the brazen scaffold erected by Solomon, ( 2 Chronicles 6:13 ) , though Vitringa ^F5 and Bishop Patrick suppose it to be the post of the east gate of the inner court, from ( Ezekiel 46:2 ) , according to Jacob Leo ^F6, this was the royal throne in the court of the Israelites, near the high or upper gate, on a marble pillar, where the kings of the house of David sat, when they came into the sanctuary to see the Lord in the second temple; this throne was like an high tower, standing upon two pillars, each twenty cubits high, and their circumference twelve; here sat Joash, and Hezekiah, and Josiah; however, Athaliah saw Jehoash with the crown on his head, and in the place where kings used to sit or stand:

and the princes and the trumpeters by the king;
the rulers of the courses of the priests, and the Levites, blowing the trumpets:

and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets;
it is added, in ( 2 Chronicles 23:13 ) that the singers played also on musical instruments; that were then and there assembled:

and Athaliah rent her clothes;
through grief, and as one almost distracted:

and cried, treason, treason!
to try if she could get any to take her part, and seize on the new king, and those that set him up.

2 Reis 11:14 In-Context

12 Depois Joiada trouxe para fora Joás, o filho do rei, colocou nele a coroa e lhe entregou uma cópia da aliança. Então o proclamaram rei, ungindo-o, e o povo aplaudia e gritava: “Viva o rei!”

13 Quando Atalia ouviu o barulho dos guardas e do povo, foi ao templo do SENHOR, onde estava o povo,

14 e onde ela viu o rei, em pé junto à coluna, conforme o costume. Os oficiais e os tocadores de corneta estavam ao lado do rei, e todo o povo se alegrava ao som das cornetas. Então Atalia rasgou suas vestes e gritou: “Traição! Traição!”

15 O sacerdote Joiada ordenou aos líderes dos batalhões de cem que estavam no comando das tropas: “Levem-na para fora por entre as fileiras e matem à espada quem a seguir”. Pois o sacerdote dissera: “Ela não será morta no templo do SENHOR”.

16 Então eles a prenderam e a levaram ao lugar onde os cavalos entram no terreno do palácio e lá a mataram.
