* Behold.
Isa 26:11 Jer 28:16,17 29:21,22,32
* into an inner chamber. or, from chamber to chamber. Heb.
into a chamber in a chamber.
"In one of the halls of the {seraglio} at Constantinople,"
says De La Motraye, "the eunuch made us pass by several little
chambers, with doors shut, like the cells of monks or nuns, as
far as I could judge by one that another eunuch opened." This
exactly corresponds with the idea of a "chamber within a
chamber;" and it would appear that Micaiah predicted that
Zedekiah should fly for shelter to a Harem, which we have seen
was deemed inviolate. (See on 1; Sa 19:16.)
