Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - The high gate. There is some doubt as to what this gate was, whether the temple gate of 2 Chronicles 27:3, the chief gate of the outer court, or whether it was merely a palace gate, and not identified also with the precincts of the temple. It is called in the parallel "the gate of the guard."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) And he took.--See 2Kings 11:19.The nobles, and the governors of the people.--Kings has: "And the Carians and the Couriers." (See Note on 2Chronicles 23:1.)The nobles.--Comp. Psalm 16:3.Governors of the people.--Comp. Isaiah 28:14. These "nobles and governors" are perhaps "the heads of the clans" of 2Chronicles 23:2, and "the princes of 2Chronicles 23:13; though the phrase certainly looks like an attempt at explaining the obscure titles of the royal guard. . . .
