Jehoahaz. — Several Hebrew MSS. read Ahaziah, as in 2 Kings 14:13, with which the rest of the verse agrees: see the Notes there. (See Note on 2 Chronicles 21:17.)

The corner gate. — So 2 Kings 14:13, rightly. Our Hebrew text has, “gate of the turning one,” or “gate that turneth;” which would require some word indicating the direction of the turning. (Comp. Ezekiel 8:3, “gate that turneth northward.”) Some MSS., and all the versions, agree with Kings. It is merely a matter of different points. (Comp. also 2 Chronicles 26:9.)
