“When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord’s house.”
The assemblage of the officials of Judah at the gate of the house of the LORD suggests that the hearing becomes a formal proceeding with official presence. The location—the gate of the temple—is a place of judgment and justice. The gathering of officials suggests that a trial or formal hearing is occurring. The verse shows that the incident escalates from immediate violence to formal legal proceeding.
