Solomon began building the Lord’s temple {\cf2\super [22]} at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah. Mount Moriah is the place where the Lord came to David, Solomon’s father. Solomon built the temple on the place that David had made ready. This place was at the threshing floor {\cf2\super [23]} that had belonged to Araunah {\cf2\super [24]} the Jebusite.
After that happened, Manasseh built an outer wall for the City of David. {\cf2\super [410]} This wall went to the west of Gihon Spring in \{Kidron\} Valley, to the entrance of the Fish Gate, and around the hill of Ophel. {\cf2\super [411]} He made the wall very tall. Then he put officers in all the fortresses {\cf2\super [412]} in Judah.
Hilkiah and the king’s servants {\cf2\super [431]} went to Huldah the prophetess. {\cf2\super [432]} Huldah was Shallum’s wife. Shallum was Tokhath’s son, Tokhath was Hasrah’s son. Hasrah took care of the king’s clothes. Huldah lived in the newer part of Jerusalem. Hilkiah and the king’s servants told Huldah what had happened.
