SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:3
Edificó él la puerta mayor de la Casa del SEÑOR, y en el muro de la fortaleza edificó mucho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:3
Verse 3. On the wall of Ophel] The wall, says the Targum, of the interior palace. Ophel was some part of the wall of Jerusalem, that was most pregnable, and therefore Jotham fortified it in a particular manner.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. He built the high gate in the house of the Lord , etc.] See the note on ( 2 Kings 15:35) and on the wall of Ophel he built much ; which Kimchi interprets an high place; it was the eastern part of Mount Zion. Josephus calls it Ophlas, and says it joined to the eastern porch of the temple; and some have thought the porch of the temple is meant; the Targum renders it a palace; it is a tradition of the Jews that it was the holy of holies f117 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Jotham's reign in Judah. --The people did corruptly. Perhaps Jotham was wanting towards the reformation of the land. Men may be very good, and yet not have courag and zeal to do what they might. It certainly casts blame upon the people. Jotham prospered, and became mighty. The more stedfast we ar in religion, the more mighty we are, both to resist evil, and to d good. The Lord often removes wise and pious rulers, and sends others whose follies and vices punish a people that valued not their mercies __________________________________________________________________
