14 Despu茅s de esto edific贸 el muro de afuera de la ciudad de David, al occidente de Gih贸n en el valle, y a la entrada de la puerta del pescado, y cerc贸 a Ofel, y lo alz贸 muy alto; y puso capitanes de ej茅rcito en todas las ciudades fuertes por Jud谩.

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 Mas luego que fue puesto en angustias, or贸 ante el SE脩OR su Dios, humillado grandemente en la presencia del Dios de sus padres.
13 Y cuando or贸 a 茅l, fue o铆do; porque 茅l oy贸 su oraci贸n, y lo volvi贸 a Jerusal茅n, a su reino. Entonces conoci贸 Manas茅s que el SE脩OR era Dios.
14 Despu茅s de esto edific贸 el muro de afuera de la ciudad de David, al occidente de Gih贸n en el valle, y a la entrada de la puerta del pescado, y cerc贸 a Ofel, y lo alz贸 muy alto; y puso capitanes de ej茅rcito en todas las ciudades fuertes por Jud谩.
15 Asimismo quit贸 los dioses ajenos, y el 铆dolo de la Casa del SE脩OR, y 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 ech贸 fuera de la ciudad.
16 Y repar贸 el altar del SE脩OR, y sacrific贸 sobre 茅l sacrificios pac铆ficos y de alabanza; y mand贸 a Jud谩 que sirviesen al SE脩OR Dios de Israel.
