2 Chronicles 23:13

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 23:13

behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in--The king's pillar was in the people's court, opposite that of the priests'.

Some think that he stood on the brazen scaffold of Solomon, erected beside the pillar [see on Ch2 6:13].

Adam Clarke on 2 Chronicles 23:11
