Contextual Overview
4 2 Chronicles 23:1-11">[xr] In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds--of the bodyguards and the escorts--and brought them into the house of the LORD to him. And he made a covenant with them and took an oath from them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son. 5 Then he commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall do: One-third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king's house, 6 one-third shall be at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down. 7 The two contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD for the king. 8 But you shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within range, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in." 9 So the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each of them took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields which had belonged to King David, that were in the temple of the LORD. 11 Then the escorts stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, all around the king, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, by the altar and the house. 12 And he brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and gave him the Testimony; Exodus 25:16, 21 and Deuteronomy 31:9)">[fn] they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, "Long live the king!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king,.... As ordered, 2 Kings 11:8
from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple from the northeast to the southeast:
along by the altar and the temple: the altar of burnt offering, which stood in the court.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
From the right corner ... - Rather, âfrom the right side of the temple buildings to the left sideâ - i. e., right across the temple court from the one side to the other, by the altar of burnt offerings, etc. This altar stood exactly in front of the temple-porch. Here the king was stationed; and before him and behind him, (âround aboutâ him) stood the soldiers, drawn up several ranks deep across the entire court, just in front of the sacred building.
