After this, he built the outer wall of the city of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate; he brought it round Ophel, and he heightened it considerably. He also placed military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Then he took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land and brought the king down from the Lord’s temple. They entered the king’s palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Yet the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places. Jotham built the Upper Gate of the Lord’s temple.
When the officials of Judah heard about these things, they went from the king’s palace to the Lord’s temple and sat at the entrance of the New Gate of the Lord’s temple. ,
