Barnes's 2-kings 15:35 Bible Commentary
He built the higher gate - Jotham followed the example of his father in military, no less than in religious, matters (compare the marginal reference with 2 Chronicles 26:9). The "higher" or "upper gate" of the temple is thought to have been that toward the north; and its fortification would seem to indicate fear of an attack from that quarter.
Wesley's 2-kings 15:35 Bible Commentary
15:35 Gate - Not of the temple, but of one of the courts of the temple, probably that which led to the king's palace.
