Barnes's 2-kings 11:6 Bible Commentary
That it be not broken down - The one word in the original text of which this is a translation occurs nowhere else; and its meaning is very doubtful.
Wesley's 2-kings 11:6 Bible Commentary
11:6 Sur — The chief gate of the temple.
The guard — Either, 1. the king's guard. Or, 2. the guard of the temple; this gate was in the south-side.
So, … — So you shall guard all the gates or entrances into the temple that neither Athaliah nor any of her soldiers may break in.
