Only, the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of Jehovah.
And he took the commanders of the hundreds, and the great ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of Jehovah; and they came in through the Upper Gate to the king’s house, and made the king sit on the throne of the kingdom.
And after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and turned around Ophel, and he made it exceedingly high, and he put commanders of the army in all the cities he had in Judah.
When the rulers of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of Jehovah and set up in the entrance of the New Gate of Jehovah.
