Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

2 Chronicles 23:14

Then. — And. This verse is the same as 2 Kings 11:15, with a few formal variations.

Brought out. — Kings, “commanded.” The Heb. words are so nearly alike that one may easily be a corruption of the other. The Syriac and Arabic agree with Kings. The LXX. gives both readings.

Have her forth of the ranges. — Make her go out between the ranks of guards.

Let him be slain. — An explanation of the form used in Kings (the infinitive).

Slay her not. — Ye must not slay her. Kings, “Let her not be slain.” So the Syriac here.
