Of the guard and of the people. — This is correct. The and has fallen out of the Hebrew text.
The guard. — The Aramaic form of the plural, rare in prose, occurs here. (Comp. 1 Kings 11:33.) In 2 Chronicles 23:11 the words are transposed. This gives a different sense — viz., “of the people running together” to which is added, “and acclaiming the king.” The chronicler may have found this in the work he followed, but the text before us seems preferable, as the word “runners” (Couriers) throughout the account means the royal guard.
The people. — See Note on 2 Kings 11:14.
She came... into the temple. — Evidently, therefore, the palace was hard by the Temple. (See Note on 2 Kings 11:16.)
