A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 5. To the sabbath. That is, to perform in your weeks the functions of your office, or the weekly watches. Challoner.—Porters. Septuagint “even to the entrance gates.”—House, where Athalia resided, or in the apartments of Joas in the temple.—Foundation. Septuagint “middle.” Syr. “of the cooks, or guards.” Bible.—It led from the palace up the steps, verse 21. Menochius.—Perhaps it was also called Sur, 4 Kennicott.—But let. This seems to be transposed out of its place from verse 6.
