And they laid hands on her, etc.] Or rather, “set a place for her”, as the Targum; so Jarchi and Kimchi; made a space, opened a way for her to come out of the temple into their ranks, that she might be there taken and slain, and not in the temple: and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house; either the high road in which the horses and carriages went to the palace, or the way to the king’s stables near the palace: and there was she slain; they let her go so far, which was far enough from the temple, and then they slew her.
