2 Könige 11:15

Aber Jojada, der Priester, gebot den Obersten über Hundert, die über das Heer gesetzt waren, und sprach: Führt sie hinaus, zwischen den Reihen hindurch, und wer ihr folgt, der soll durch das Schwert sterben! Denn der Priester sprach: Sie soll nicht im Hause des Herrn getötet werden!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host,.... Of the priests and Levites:

and said unto them, have her forth without the ranges; the ranks of the guards, which were at the gate leading to the palace, or rather "within" them g; the meaning is, that he ordered her to be had out of the court of the temple, and be put within their ranks, and enclosed by them, that her blood might not be shed in the temple, and yet not escape them:

and him that followeth her, kill with the sword: that takes her part, and offers to help and assist her, passing through the ranks after her, dispatch him at once:

for the priest had said, let her not be slain in the house of the Lord: that it might not be defiled with her blood; by which it appears that the guards had orders concerning her before, should she come to the temple, see 2 Kings 11:13.

g מבית לשדרת "intra ordines", Munster, Junius, Tremellius, Piscator, Noldius, p. 79. No. 365. So Jarchi, Kimchi, Ben Gersom, & Ben Melech.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Have her forth without the ranges - Rather, “Conduct her out between your ranks.” Guard her, i. e., on all sides, that the people may not fall upon her and kill her as she passes through the court, thereby polluting the temple.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 11:15. Have her forth — She had pressed in among the guards into the temple.

And him that followeth — The person who takes her part, let him instantly be slain.
