John Gill Commentary 2 Kings 11:16

"So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses` entry to the king`s house: and there was she slain." — 2 Kings 11:16 (ASV)

And they laid hands on her
Or rather, ``set a place for her'', as the Targum; so Jarchi and Kimchi; made a space, opened a way for her to come out of the temple into their ranks, that she might be there taken and slain, and not in the temple:

and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's
house ;
either the high road in which the horses and carriages went to the palace, or the way to the king's stables near the palace: and there was she slain; they let her go so far, which was far enough from the temple, and then they slew her.
