2 Kings 16:18New American Bible - revised editionIn deference to the king of Assyria he removed the sabbath canopy that had been set up in the house of the Lord and the king’s outside entrance to the temple. See the chapter |
Then the prince shall enter from outside by way of the vestibule of the gate and remain standing at the doorpost of the gateway while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and communion offerings; then he shall bow down in worship at the opening of the gate and leave. But the gate shall not be closed until evening.
