2 Kings 11:11 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

From the right corner ... - Rather, “from the right side of the temple buildings to the left side” - i. e., right across the temple court from the one side to the other, by the altar of burnt offerings, etc. This altar stood exactly in front of the temple-porch. Here the king was stationed; and before him and behind him, (“round about” him) stood the soldiers, drawn up several ranks deep across the entire court, just in front of the sacred building.

2 Kings 11:11

11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right cornerd of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
