1 Kings 22:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

A void place, х bªgoren (H1637)] - a spacious level area; a threshing-floor, formed at the gate of Samaria (cf. 2 Chronicles 18:9). It must have been a very large area, when two kings could hold their courts in it, with 400 false prophets and a vast multitude of people (2 Kings 7:1), and a market be held (2 Kings 23:8).
