| II Chronicles 4:9
| He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
| Hall, (basilicam.) Septuagint use the same term (aule) as just before is rendered court; and the Protestants make no distinction, though the Hebrew terms be different. Septuagint render chatsar, "the court" of the people. There, we know, that Solomon had his tribune, 2 Paralipomenon 6:13. Ezechiel (xliii. 14.) distinguishes two; the great, lower or outward, (Calmet chatsar) or court, and that of the priests, (Haydock) which he styles the less, etc. The principal door lay to the east.
