2 Re 11:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 11:3

And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years,
&c.] In the temple; not in the holy of holies, as Jarchi, but in a chamber of the priests and Levites, of which there were several in a temple, as Kimchi, and others; and the husband of Jehosheba, being high priest, had one of them for his own use; and here the child was hid six years, so that he was but a year old when he was first taken and preserved, for he was made king when seven years of age, ( 2 Kings 11:21 ) ,

4 Ma l’anno settimo, Gioiada mandò a chiamare de’ capi di centinaia per esser capitani e sergenti; e li fece venire a sè nella Casa del Signore, e fece lega con loro, e fece lor giurare nella Casa del Signore; poi mostrò loro il figliuolo del re.
5 E diede loro ordine, dicendo: Quest’è quello che voi farete: La terza parte di voi, cioè quelli ch’entrano in settimana, faccia ancora la guardia alla casa del re;
