The word translated tabernacle (say some) signifies a hedge or fence, and they would have it here so translated, and so the phrase should denote God's withdrawing his protection from the Jews; but it is no where so translated. It is another word used Psalms 80:12, Psalms 89:40. The most judicious interpreters think that the word here signifieth the temple, and the rather because of what followeth. By the places of the assembly may be understood the synagogues. By the king and the priest are meant persons of greatest rank and eminency, though it is thought here is a special reference to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and Seraiah who was the high priest, the former of which was miserably handled, the latter slain.

6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle,c as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
