Context — Jehoiada Restores the Worship of the LORD
17Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
18So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
19He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
20and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace. 21Joash was seven years old when he became king.Cross References

2 Kings 11:19 Summary
This verse tells us about the transition of power from Athaliah to the young King Joash, with Jehoiada's help. Jehoiada brought the commanders, Carites, guards, and people to the royal palace to ensure a smooth transition and to protect Joash, similar to how God protected His people in Exodus 14:13-14. As Joash took his seat on the throne, it marked the beginning of his reign and the restoration of the Davidic dynasty, as promised by God in 2 Samuel 7:12-13. This event shows us the importance of courageous leadership, faithfulness to God, and the need to surround oneself with people who share one's values, as seen in Proverbs 11:14 and 24:6.

By the way of the gate of the guard, i.e. by the gate of the royal palace, where the king’ s guard stood.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 11:19
2 Kings 11:19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’ s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.Ver. 19. And came by the way of the gate of the guard.] Called the high gate, by reason of the fairness and height of it; and the new gate.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 11:19
(19) And he took the rulers . . . the land.—Jehoiada now arranges a procession to escort the king in triumph from the Temple to the palace. The rulers . . . guard.—Rather, the captains of the hundreds (the centurions) and the Carians and the Couriers; or, as Thenius prefers, the lictors and the satellites. They brought down the king from the house of the Lord.—Down from the Temple to the bridge connecting Moriah with Zion. And came by the way . . . king’s house.—Rather, and entered the king’s house by way of the gate of the Couriers. This gate, therefore, belonged not to the Temple, but to the palace, and was probably the chief entrance thereto. And he sat on the throne.—The proceedings ended with the solemn enthronement of the king in the palace of his fathers. (The LXX. reads more suitably: “And they seated him on the throne;” so Chronicles.)
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 11:19
19. And he took the rulers [R.V. captains] and the captains] R.V. the Carites. On these words cf. above on verse 4. and they brought down the king] The movement was a popular one, the people taking part with the soldiers and the priests. In 2 Chron. ‘the nobles and the governors of the people’ are included in the list. The temple was on a lofty height. Hence the phrase ‘brought down’. by the way of the gate of the guard to [R.V. unto] the king’s house] This gate would be specially ready for the king’s entry, as it was one of those secured by the arrangements described in verse 6. he sat on the throne of the kings] On this throne, and its position in the palace which Solomon built, cf. note on 1 Kings 7:7.
