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.

They escorted Joash from the temple to the palace, first bringing him down into the valley of the Tyropoeon, and then conducting him up the opposite, or western hill, on which the palace stood. And came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. The "gate of the guard" is probably that called in ver. 6 "the gate behind the guard." We may presume that it was the main entrance to the palace on the eastern side. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
