This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Into the house of the Lord; strictly so called, as it is distinguished from the courts, into which others were permitted to come, 2Ch_23:5, to wit, into the holy place.
The priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they who are to minister in course, or by my present appointment.
The watch of the Lord, i.e. of the house of the Lord; as the phrase may be filled up out of this place and 2Ki_11:6. The sense is, Let them stand in their court to prevent and oppose any person who shall endeavour violently to break into the house to seize upon the king, or to disturb their present work; which he expected Athaliah and her accomplices would do.
