Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains - literally, princes - of the hundreds, the officers of the host - the commanders, i.e., of the small "army" assembled in the temple court - and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges; rather, have her forth, or conduct her out between your ranks. The object was probably to preserve her from suffering violence at the hands of any of the people within the temple precincts, which Jehoiada desired to preserve free from pollution. And him that followeth her kill with the sword; i.e. if any come after her out of the temple, to attempt a rescue, slay them with the sword. The order, given aloud, was sufficient to deter persons from making the attempt. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord. Jehoiada had previously given an order that her execution should take place outside the temple.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) The captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host.--The centurions of the royal guard are called "the officers of the host" (comp. Numbers 31:14) to signify that it was they who gave effect to the high priest's orders by communicating them to their troops.Have her forth without the ranges.--Rather, Cause her to go out between the ranks--i.e., escort her out of the sacred precincts with a guard on both sides.Him that followeth her--i.e., whoever shows any sympathy with her, or attempts to take her part. There might have been some of her partisans in the large gathering in the Temple court.For the priest had said.--This is a parenthetic statement accounting for the order just given; and "had said" may mean "thought."
