Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 23:13

_ _ behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in — The king’s pillar was in the people’s court, opposite that of the priests’. The young king, arrayed in the royal insignia, had been brought out of the inner, to stand forth in the outer court, to the public view. Some think that he stood on the brazen scaffold of Solomon, erected beside the pillar [see on 2 Chronicles 6:13].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 23:12-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 23:13

Rejoiced — To see a rod sprung out of the stem of Jesse! To see what they despaired of ever seeing, a king of the house of David.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Chronicles 23:13

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, (h) Treason, Treason.

(h) Declaring her vile impudency who having unjustly and by murder usurped the crown would still have defeated the true possessor and therefore called true obedience treason.
