2 Chronicles 23:15

So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

The entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there. The high priest; ordered her immediately to be taken out of the temple grounds and put to death; "and they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which horses came into the king's house, and there was she slain" (2 Kings 11:16). 'Now, we are not to suppose that horses came into' the kings' house 'of residence, but into the king's (horses') house or hippodrome (the gate of the king's mules) (Josephus) he had built for them on the southeast of the temple, in the immediate vicinity of the horse gate in the valley of Kedron-a valley which was at that time a kind of desecrated place, by the destruction of idols and their appurtenances' (2 Kings 22:2; 2 Kings 22:6; 2 Kings 22:12) (Barclay's 'City of the Great King').
