NASB | 2 Chronicles 23:5 and one third shall be at the king's house, and a third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Chronicles 23:5 a [second] third shall be at the king's house (palace), and a [final] third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courtyards of the house of the LORD. |
Bible Question: 2 Chronicles 23:5 refers to a Foundation Gate being guarded while young Joash is made king. Is this just part of the foundation of the temple or particularly symbolic as it is capitalized? |
Bible Answer: smalltinygirl I only found one clue, which is not much of a clue. In 2 Kings we have a reference to the same thing in 11:6 it calls this gate the Gate of Sur which the word Sur just means temple gate. So where in Chronicles it is capitalized, not capitalized in kings it is some specific temple gate or other, which is why they capitalized it in Chronicles, it is a specifc temple gate only no one knows what the significance of it was. The only other problem is that it is not clear whether the gate of Sur was the Foundation Gate or whether the Foundation Gate was a gate where the young Joash was made king. Confuse you now? Me too.:-) peacebestill |
