Trapp - It was a weighty work he went about, and therefore he took the wisest course, the fittest time; on the Sabbath, when the congregation met; and in the temple, wither Athaliah and her courtiers seldom came.” J.A. Thompson points out that "The arrangement for carrying out the crowning of Joash and the removal of Athaliah centered on the change in the shifts of temple personnel. There would be the maximum number of armed personnel for the coup as well as a large number of persons moving about in the temple so as not to arouse any suspicion in the mind of Athaliah, who would see these changes taking place daily. However, neither the details here nor in 2 Kgs 11:5-8 are clear, no doubt due to our ignorance about their procedures. (1, 2 Chronicles: An Exegetical and Theological Exposition) 2 Chronicles 23:5 and one third shall be at the king’s house, and a third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD. the king's house: 2Ki 11:5,6 Eze 44:2,3 46:2,3 Gate of the Foundation;: Ac 3:2 Parallel Passage: 2Ki 11:6+ (one third also shall be at the gate Sur, and one third at the gate behind the guards), shall keep watch over the house for defense. THE OTHER 2/3'S OF LEVITES ARE ALLOCATED and one third shall be at the king’s house, and a third at the Gate of the Foundation (probably same as "the gate Sur"); and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD - See parallel 2Ki 11:6+ which adds they shall keep watch over the house for defense. Walton - The Foundation Gate is called the Sur Gate in 2 Kings 11:6. Its location cannot be determined with certainty. (IVP Background Commentary - OT - page 445) 2 Chronicles 23:6 “But let no one enter the house of the LORD except the priests and the ministering Levites; they may enter, for they are holy. And let all the people keep the charge of the LORD. they: 2Ki 11:6,7 1Ch 23:28-32 ONLY PRIESTS AND LEVITES CAN ENTER HOUSE OF THE LORD But let no one enter the house of the LORD except the priests and the ministering Levites; they may enter, for they are holy. And let all the people keep the charge of the LORD - This fact is not in 2Ki 11. Bob

Trapp - “Oh that we also had store of such porters, to keep out the unclean from holy ordinances!” Walton - gatekeepers. The doorkeepers were evidently royal guards who were responsible for the entrance to the temple precinct by which the king normally passed (see also 1 Kings 14:28; 2 Kings 11:19). The exact route from the temple to the palace is unclear. It may have been south between the temple mount and the City of David. (IVP Background Commentary - OT - page 444) 2 Chronicles 23:20 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the LORD, and came through the upper gate to the king’s house. And they placed the king upon the royal throne. the captains: 2Ki 11:9,10,19 Parallel Passage: 2Ki 11:19+ He took the captains of hundreds and the Carites and the guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guards to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. KING JOASH SEATED ON ROYAL THRONE He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the LORD, and came through the upper gate to the king’s house. And they placed the king upon the royal throne. Bob
