Theological / Devotional

Into the third entry. Or, “at the third entrance.” It is impossible to identify the place of this secret meeting.

I will ask thee a thing. It is plain that the king had a reluctant respect for the prophet’s counsel, and could not altogether tear himself away from listening to it (see ch. 37:17).
