**And.** This chapter is complementary to [2 Kings 11:4-20](../../../kjv/2-kings/11/4-20) . See App-56 .
**seventh.** The number of spiritual perfection. App-10 .
**strengthened himself.** Chronicles mentions the military ([2 Chronicles 23:1](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/23/1) ), but enlarges on the Levites (verses: [2 Chronicles 23:2](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/23/2) , &c.) Kings recognizes the Levites ([2 Kings 11:4-12](../../../kjv/2-kings/11/4-12) ), but enlarges on the military. See the book comments for 1 Chronicles (note on the Title), and App-56 .

**Israel.** Note this word here, and see note on [1 Kings 12:17](../../../kjv/1-kings/12/17) .

**congregation** = assembly, or muster.
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* (with Art.) = the [true] God. Figure of speech *Asterismos* , to emphasize the text or sermon of Jehoiada, which was the faithfulness of Jehovah to His word.
**as** = according as.
**hath said.** This is the great point. Compare [2 Chronicles 6:16](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/6/16) ; 2Ch 7:18 . [2 Samuel 7:12](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/12) . [1 Kings 2:4](../../../kjv/1-kings/2/4) ; [1 Kings 9:5](../../../kjv/1-kings/9/5) .

**doors** = thresholds. Especially that of Sur ([2 Kings 11:6](../../../kjv/2-kings/11/6) ).

**holy.** See note on [Exodus 3:5](../../../kjv/exodus/3/5) .

**temple** = house, as in preceding context.

**put upon him the crown, and the testimony.** Figure of speech *Zeugma* ( App-6 ), by which there is an Ellipsis of the second verb, rightly supplied in Authorized Version, "gave him".
**testimony:** i.e. the book of the Law.

**stood** = standing.
**Treason, Treason.** Figure of speech *Epizeuxis.* App-6 .

**brought out.** Syriac reads "commanded". Compare [2 Kings 11:15](../../../kjv/2-kings/11/15) .
**host** = force.

**laid hands on her:** or, made way for her.

**the house of Baal.** All the vessels of the Temple had been removed thither by Jehoram and Athaliah ([2 Chronicles 24:7](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/24/7) ).
**slew Mattan.** According to [Deuteronomy 13:9](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/13/9) .

**the Levites.** Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate read "and the Levites".
**of.** Some codices, with six early printed editions, read "to".
**by David.** Hebrew "upon (or by) the hands of David".

**rejoiced . . . quiet.** "After" Athaliah was slain! So will it be when the great usurper shall he finally cast down.
