Bible Comments

They laid hands on her, or, they gave her space or room, to wit, to go out of the court of the temple, and did not keep her within it, as they could have done. Or, they appointed bands for her; they ordered two bands of the Levites to follow her, and kill her. By the way by the which the horses came into the king's house; by the great and public road in which horses and chariots went to the palace. There was she slain; in an ignominious place and manner, as her mother Jezebel had been.
