John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was , etc.] Of kings, when they came into the temple on any occasion, civil or religious, therefore it is called his pillar, ( 2 Chronicles 23:13 2 Kings 23:3 2 Chronicles 34:1), some think this was the brazen scaffold erected by Solomon, ( 2 Chronicles 6:13), though Vitringa and Bishop Patrick suppose it to be the post of the east gate of the inner court, from ( Ezekiel 46:2), according to Jacob Leo f129 , this was the royal throne in the court of the Israelites, near the high or upper gate, on a marble pillar, where the kings of the house of David sat, when they came into the sanctuary to see the Lord in the second temple; this throne was like an high tower, standing upon two pillars, each twenty cubits high, and their circumference twelve; here sat Joash, and Hezekiah, and Josiah; however, Athaliah saw Jehoash with the crown on his head, and in the place where kings used to sit or stand: and the princes and the trumpeters by the king ; the rulers of the courses of the priests, and the Levites, blowing the trumpets: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets ; it is added, in ( 2 Chronicles 23:13) that the singers played also on musical instruments; that were then and there assembled: and Athaliah rent her clothes ; through grief, and as one almost distracted: and cried, treason, treason! to try if she could get any to take her part, and seize on the new king, and those that set him up.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-16 - Athaliah hastened her own destruction. She herself was the greates traitor, and yet was first and loudest in crying, Treason, treason! The most guilty are commonly the most forward to reproach others.
