Commentary

And the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, sat each on his throne,.... In great state and majesty: having put on their robes; their ro yal robes, which they wore when they appeared in pomp and grandeur: in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; where courts of judicature were held, and there was an open void space for the people to assemble in to hear; the word has the signification of a corn floor, and the Jews suppose they and their attendants sat in a semicircle like the half of a corn floor, after the same manner in which they say the sanhedrim at Jerusalem sat (o): and all the prophets prophesied before them; concerning this affair of going to Ramothgilead. (o) T. Bab. Cholin, fol. 5. 1. Vid. Kimchium in loc.
