nevertheless he did not away [the] high things; yet the people made sacrifice, and burnt incense in high things; he builded the highest gate of the house of the Lord.
And he took the centurions, and the strongest men, and princes of the people, and all the common people of the land. And they made the king to go down from the house of the Lord, and to enter by the midst of the higher gate into the house of the king; and they set him in the king’s throne.
After these things he builded the wall without or outside the city of David, at the west side of Gihon, in the valley, from the entering of the gate of fishes, by compass unto Ophel; and he raised it up greatly; and he ordained princes of the host in all the strong cities of Judah.
And the princes of Judah heard all these words; and they ascended [or went up] from the king’s house into the house of the Lord, and sat in the entering [or the entry] of the new gate of the house of the Lord.
