THE EXECUTION OF ATHALIAH (2Chronicles 23:12-21).

(See 2Kings 11:13-20.)

(12) Now when Athaliah . . . she came.--And Athaliah heard . . . and she came.

The noise of the people running and praising the king.--Or, the noise of the people, the Couriers, and those who were acclaiming the king. (1Kings 11:13, "the noise of the runners, the people;" where the people may be an inadvertent repetition, as the same expression follows directly. The rest of the verse is the same as here.)

Verse 12. - When Athaliah heard the noise. The parallel (2 Kings 11:13-16) shows only two differences of any noteworthiness, and these will come under notice next verse. The noise; Hebrew, the voice; i.e. no doubt the voices of the people. Praising. The Hebrew is the piel participle; our corresponding phrase would be, "singing out the praises of the king," i.e. not any personal praises, but such as the cries of "Long live the king!" or, as our Authorized Version has it, "God save the king I"
