themselves_o in_o till_o the_o sabbath_n be_v out_o or_o till_o they_o may_v go_v home_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o conception_n be_v because_o of_o the_o word_n sabbath_n which_o they_o suppose_v to_o refer_v rather_o to_o the_o change_n of_o the_o priest_n course_n who_o come_v in_o and_o go_v out_o on_o the_o sabbath_n then_o to_o the_o service_n or_o the_o people_n attend_v who_o

there_o to_o receive_v he_o again_o and_o to_o guard_v he_o home_o and_o i_o shall_v understand_v and_o construe_v the_o word_n the_o king_n in_o conjunction_n with_o both_o particular_n name_v namely_o that_o it_o mean_v the_o king_n covert_n of_o the_o sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o the_o king_n entry_n without_o and_o my_o reason_n for_o this_o opinion_n i_o shall_v fetch_v partly_o from_o the_o mention_n of_o these_o gate_n that_o we_o have_v in_o speech_n before_o namely_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o foundation_n and_o the_o gate_n behind_o the_o guard_n 2._o king_n 11.6_o and_o partly_o

say_v he_o it_o mean_v the_o court_n of_o israel_n the_o court_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o chel_n be_v the_o two_o other_o kimchi_n do_v well_o conceive_v that_o this_o entry_n be_v as_o they_o
