Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 23:20
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
20. the nobles ] Heb. addrm; cp. Neh 3:5 (with Ryle’s note). In 2 Kin., “the Carites”; cp. 2Ch 23:1 (note).
the high gate ] R.V. the upper gate; cp. 2Ch 27:3, “the high (‘upper,’ R.V.) gate of the house of the Lord.” In 2 Kin., “by the way of the gate of the guard” (doubtless one of the gates of the palace). The Chronicler writing at a time when the palace had ceased to exist, prefers to fix localities by reference to the Temple.

The nobles.Comp. Psa. 16:3.
Governors of the people.Comp. Isa. 28:14. These nobles and governors are perhaps the heads of the clans of 2Ch. 23:2, and the princes of 2Ch. 23:13; though the phrase certainly looks like an attempt at explaining the obscure titles of the royal guard.
And they came through the high gate.Kings, And they came by the way of the Couriers Gate. (See Note on 2Ch. 23:5, supra.) The Couriers Gate may have been called the High Gate, as being the grand entrance to the palace. A gate of the Temple has the same designation in 2Ch. 27:3.
