2 Reis 11:6

6 outra terça parte estará � porta Sur; e a outra terça parte � porta detrás dos da guarda. Assim fareis a guarda desta casa, afastando a todos.

2 Reis 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 11:6

And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur
Generally thought by the Jews to be the eastern gate, so called, as they say, because such as were defiled were bid to depart, or go back, as this word signifies, and not enter the temple; it is called "the gate of the foundation", ( 2 Chronicles 23:5 ) because, according to Ben Gersom, here the foundation of the sanctuary was first laid; it is said ^F2 to have five other names besides these:

and a third part at the gate behind the guard;
the temple guard, which had a captain of them, ( Acts 4:1 ) this gate is supposed to be the same with "sippim", or the threshold gate, ( 2 Chronicles 23:4 ) and to be the southern one:

so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down;
guard the temple, that none break or rush into it, of Athaliah's party.

2 Reis 11:6 In-Context

4 No sétimo ano, porém, Jeoiada mandou chamar os centuriões dos caritas e os oficiais da guarda, e fê-los entrar consigo na casa do Senhor; e fez com eles um pacto e, ajuramentando-os na casa do Senhor, mostrou-lhes o filho do rei.

5 Então lhes ordenou, dizendo: Eis aqui o que haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, os que entrais no sábado, fará a guarda da casa do rei;

6 outra terça parte estará � porta Sur; e a outra terça parte � porta detrás dos da guarda. Assim fareis a guarda desta casa, afastando a todos.

7 As duas companhias, a saber, todos os que saem no sábado, farão a guarda da casa do Senhor junto ao rei;

8 e rodeareis o rei, cada um com as suas armas na mão, e aquele que entrar dentro das fileiras, seja morto; e estai vós com o rei quando sair e quando entrar.
