2 Chronicles 27:3
Ver. 3. He built the high gate in the house of the Lord,.... See the note on 2Ki 15:35
and on the wall of Ophel he built much; which Kimchi interprets an high place; it was the eastern part of Mount Zion. Josephus {f} calls it Ophlas, and says it joined to the eastern porch of the temple; and some have thought the porch of the temple is meant; the Targum renders it a palace; it is a tradition of the Jews that it was the holy of holies {g}.
