  Houbigant omits the words of Israel.  Bp. Patrick, however, is
  of the opinion that Judah is here called by the general name
  of Israel:  but it is probable, that these "chief fathers of
  Israel," were the descendants of those priests and Levites,
  and other pious persons of the ten tribes, who left their
  cities and possessions, and joined themselves to Judah, in the
  days of Jeroboam.  See the parallel passages.

  When the soldier retired from the tumults of war to the bosom
  of his family, he frequently hung up his arms in the temple,
  as a grateful acknowledgment of the protection he had
  received, and of the victories he had won.  It is highly
  probable, therefore, that the arms of David which Jehoiada
  delivered to the captains of hundreds, "which were in the
  house of God," were laid up in the tabernacle by David when he
  resigned the command of his armies to his generals; and there
  is reason to believe that his conduct, in this respect, was
  followed by many of his companions in arms.

 - the horse gate.
  This gate was in the eastern wall of the city, towards the
  brook Kidron, (Jer 31:40,) at which the king's horses probably
  went out from the stables at Millo.  It was near the temple;
  and some Rabbins suppose that, in order to go to the temple, a
  person might go on horseback to this place, but was then
  obliged to alight.
