2 Tawarikh 23:14-15

23:14 Jehoiada the priest sent out the officers of the units of hundreds, who were in charge of the army, and ordered them, “Bring her outside the temple to the guards. ¹  Put the sword to anyone who follows her.” The priest gave this order because he had decided she should not be executed in the Lord’s temple. ²  23:15 They seized her and took her into the precincts of the royal palace through the horses’ entrance. ³  There they executed her.

[23:14]  ¹ tn Heb “ranks.”

[23:14]  ² tn Heb “for the priest had said, ‘Do not put her to death in the house of the Lord.’”

[23:15]  ³ tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went through the entrance of the gate of the horses [into] the house of the king.” Some English versions treat the phrase “gate of the horses” as the name of the gate (“the Horse Gate”; e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
