2 Reyes 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.

12 Entonces Joiada sac贸 al hijo del rey y le puso la corona, y le dio el libro del testimonio; lo hicieron rey y lo ungieron, y batiendo palmas, gritaron: 隆Viva el rey!
13 Al o铆r Atal铆a el ruido de la guardia y del pueblo, se lleg贸 al pueblo en la casa del SE脩OR,
14 y mir贸, y he aqu铆 el rey estaba de pie junto a la columna, seg煤n la costumbre, y los capitanes y los trompetas estaban al lado del rey; y todo el pueblo del pa铆s se regocijaba y tocaba trompetas. Entonces Atal铆a rasg贸 sus vestidos, y grit贸: 隆Traici贸n, traici贸n!
15 Pero el sacerdote Joiada dio orden a los capitanes de centenas que estaban al mando del ej茅rcito, y les dijo: Sacadla de entre las filas, y al que la siga, matadlo a espada. Porque el sacerdote hab铆a dicho: No la mat茅is en la casa del SE脩OR.
16 Y le echaron mano; y cuando ella lleg贸 a la entrada de los caballos de la casa del rey, all铆 la mataron.
