Subjects in this Topic:
COLLEGE.—This stands in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] (2Ki_22:14, 2Ch_34:22) for the Heb. mishneh, which RV [Note: Revised Version.] correctly renders ‘second quarter,’—a quarter of the city lying to the north (Zep_1:10), and possibly referred to in Neh_11:9, where our versions have ‘second over the city.’ The idea of a ‘college’ came from the Targ. on 2Ki_22:14, ‘house of instruction.’
