Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 11:13

13 ¶ And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard, and of the people , she came to the people into the temple of the LORD .

Who came thither upon the hearing of the noise and tidings of what was done.

To enquire into the cause of this great Noise; being hitherto kept in deep ignorance, partly, because it was managed with so much secrecy, and in the Temple; and partly, because the People Universally hated her, and wished her downfal.

i. e. Into the Courts: whither by Iehoiadah's direction she was permitted to enter, though contrary to his general Order, ver. 8. that so he might draw her into his Net.
