Theological / Devotional

Ascent. Heb. ’olah, generally translated “burnt offering,” which would make good sense here. The queen may have witnessed one of these sacrifices in which a prodigious number of animals were used. If the translation “ascent” is to be retained, the reference has been thought by some to be a causeway leading from the lower city to the Temple area.
