This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Delivered in the reign of Jehoiakim, who undid the good effected by Josiah’s reformation, especially as to the observance of the Sabbath [Eichorn].
gate of ... children of ... people - The gate next the king’s palace, called the gate of David, and the gate of the people, from its being the principal thoroughfare: now the Jaffa gate. It is probably the same as “the gate of the fountain” at the foot of Zion, near which were the king’s garden and pool (Jer 39:4; 2Ki 25:4; Neh 2:14; Neh 3:15; Neh 12:37).
