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 Estando en tal aflicci贸n, implor贸 al SE脩OR, Dios de sus antepasados, y se humill贸 profundamente ante 茅l.
13 Or贸 al SE脩OR, y 茅l escuch贸 sus s煤plicas y le permiti贸 regresar a Jerusal茅n y volver a reinar. As铆 Manas茅s reconoci贸 que solo el SE脩OR es Dios.
14 Despu茅s de esto, Manas茅s construy贸 una alta muralla exterior en la Ciudad de David, la cual iba desde el oeste de Guij贸n, en el valle, hasta la puerta del Pescado, y rodeaba Ofel. Adem谩s, coloc贸 jefes militares en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Jud谩
15 y sac贸 del templo del SE脩OR los dioses extranjeros y el 铆dolo, arrojando fuera de la ciudad todos los altares que hab铆a construido en el monte del templo del SE脩OR y en Jerusal茅n.
16 Luego reconstruy贸 el altar del SE脩OR, y en 茅l ofreci贸 sacrificios de comuni贸n y de acci贸n de gracias, y le orden贸 a Jud谩 que sirviera al SE脩OR, Dios de Israel.
