2 Crónicas 33:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 33:14

Now after this he built a wall without the city of David
Which perhaps had been broken down by the Assyrian army, when it came and took him; Vitringa F12 thinks this is the wall of the pool of Siloah, ( Nehemiah 3:15 ) which seems to be the first and oldest wall, as Josephus F13; for that turning to the north bent towards the pool of Siloam; an Arabic writer F14 calls it the southern wall:

on the west side of Gihon;
on the west side of the city, towards Gihon; for that was to the west of it, ( 2 Chronicles 32:30 ) ,

in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate;
through which the fish were brought from Joppa, and where, according to the Targum, they were sold:

and compassed about Ophel;
the eastern part of Mount Zion; some say it was the holy of holies, ( 2 Chronicles 27:3 ) ,

and raised it up a very great height;
built the wall very high there:

and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah;
this he did to put his kingdom in a posture of defence, should it be attacked by the Assyrian army again.

2 Crónicas 33:14 In-Context

12 Cuando estaba en angustia, implor贸 al SE脩OR su Dios, y se humill贸 grandemente delante del Dios de sus padres.
13 Y cuando or贸 a El, Dios se conmovi贸 por su ruego, oy贸 su s煤plica y lo trajo de nuevo a Jerusal茅n, a su reino. Entonces Manas茅s supo que el SE脩OR era Dios.
14 Despu茅s de esto, edific贸 la muralla exterior de la ciudad de David al occidente de Gih贸n, en el valle, hasta la entrada de la puerta del Pescado; y rode贸 con ella el Ofel y la hizo muy alta. Entonces puso jefes del ej茅rcito en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Jud谩.
15 Tambi茅n quit贸 los dioses extranjeros y el 铆dolo de la casa del SE脩OR, as铆 como todos los altares que hab铆a edificado en el monte de la casa del SE脩OR y en Jerusal茅n, y los arroj贸 fuera de la ciudad.
16 Y repar贸 el altar del SE脩OR, y sacrific贸 sobre 茅l ofrendas de paz y ofrendas de gratitud; y orden贸 a Jud谩 que sirviera al SE脩OR, Dios de Israel.
