And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and
the guard
Of which ( 2 Kings 11:4 ) and all the people of the land; as many as were assembled together on this occasion:
and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord;
the temple, which was built on an eminence:
and came by the way of the gate to the king's house;
the gate of the royal palace, where the king's guards were placed, and did their duty: and he sat on the throne of the kings: where the kings of Judah used to sit, and this finished the formality of his being made king.
