Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
( Now the temple servants lived in Ophel, to the place opposite the water gate toward the east, and the tower that stands out.)After him the Tekoites repaired another portion, opposite the great tower that stands out, and to the wall of Ophel.
He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from Yahweh’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
