2 Chronicles 32:5 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The breaches in the wall of Jerusalem were not entirely due to the old hostility of Joash (marginal reference); but may have been caused either by neglect and carelessness in the reign of Ahaz 2 Chronicles 28, or by the simple process of natural decay. Hezekiah pulled down houses for the purpose of his repairs Isaiah 22:10.

On Millo, see the marginal references notes.

2 Chronicles 32:5

5 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made dartsc and shields in abundance.
