Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - Into the court; i.e. into the inner court, in which the royal apartments were apparently situated (comp. 1 Kings 7:8).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) They laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama . . .--The step was a material one, from the official standpoint. If either the prophet or the disciple were to be prosecuted for what had been spoken, it was important that the corpus delicti should itself be ready for reference, whether on behalf of the accusers or accused. The precaution taken by the princes of lodging it with Elishama, as the scribe or keeper of the archives, indicates an apprehension that the king, in his passionate waywardness, might act as he actually did. They accordingly content themselves with reporting from memory the substance of what they had heard.
