11:4 Jehoiada was “the priest,” meaning the chief priest (11:9,15). The “Carites” could possibly be the same group of David’s personal bodyguards, the Cherethites (1Kg 1:38; see 2Sm 20:23, where a scribal note corrects “Carites” to “Cherethites”).
11:20 The usual final summary notations about Athaliah’s rule were omitted. Clearly, the author did not consider her rule to have been legitimate, and so undeserving of the same treatment as a “real” ruler.
