Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

2 Chronicles 23:12

THE EXECUTION OF ATHALIAH (2 Chronicles 23:12).
(See 2 Kings 11:13.)

(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. (1 Kings 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.)
