John Gill Commentary
"And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king`s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings." — 2 Kings 11:19 (ASV)
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.
