23:14

וַיּוֹצֵא יְהוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַמֵּאוֹת ׀ פְּקוּדֵי הַחַיִל וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם הוֹצִיאוּהָ אֶל־מִבֵּית הַשְּׂדֵרוֹת וְהַבָּא אַחֲרֶיהָ יוּמַת בֶּחָרֶב כִּי אָמַר הַכֹּהֵן לֹא תְמִיתוּהָ בֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃

Then Yehoyada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the host, and said to them, Bring her out between the ranks: and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Do not slay her in the house of the Lord.

Rashi

השדרות. פירוש מקום מבוא המלך מביתו לבית ה' לא ידעתי מה ל' שדרות ויונתן תרגם סידריא:

the ranks - Heb. הַשְּׂדֵרוֹת. Rashi (II Kings 11:8) explains: the place of the king’s entry from his palace to the House of the Lord. I do not know the origin of the word, and Jonathan rendered it as “rows” [like סְדָרִים].

והבא אחריה יומת. אל תניחוה לצאת דרך מוצא העזרה אל העיר פן תמצא עוזרים מתחברים אליה:

and whoever follows her is to be put to death Do not allow her to go out by way of the exit of the forecourt to the city, lest she find helpers who will join her.

והבא אחריה. לעזרה:

and whoever follows her to her aid.

יומת. המיתוהו:

is to be put to death Put him to death.

23:15

וַיָּשִׂימוּ לָהּ יָדַיִם וַתָּבוֹא אֶל־מְבוֹא שַֽׁעַר־הַסּוּסִים בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְמִיתוּהָ שָֽׁם׃ {פ}

So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entrance of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.

So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entrance of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.

Rashi

וישימו לה ידים. מקום לנוס:

And they made a place for her a place to escape.
