Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - But let none come... save the priests. Through this little chink we get some light confirmatory of the concurrent jurisdiction of the account in the parallel The express caution of this clause shows that there were others about, and others officiating, beside the Levites, who only have been mentioned hitherto in our text, except under the most generic designation (as before, so again in last clause of this verse) of "all the people." The last clause of this verse may cover the contents of ver. 7 in the parallel. The distinction between "the courts of the house of the Lord" (ver. 5), and "the house of the Lord" (ver. 6) is, of course, quite apparent.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) But let none come into the house of the Lord.--This verse is not read in Kings. Apparently it is merely an emphatic repetition of the direction of the last verse that all the people were to remain in the courts, and not to break the law by presuming to enter the holy chambers. In 2Kings 11:7 we read instead: "And the two parts among you, all that go out on the Sabbath, they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord, with regard to the king." The last words of the present verse, "And all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord" repeat a portion of this, but in a different sense: "Let all the people carefully observe the legal rule against entering the sanctuary."
