Of these Companies of Levites, who are elsewhere called the Lord's Host, and now were the King's Host.

Of which, see above, ver. 8. If she will not go out of them of her own accord, force her out of them.

If any of the People come hither upon this occasion, shall stand up for her help.

i. e. In the Court of the Temple, lest it be polluted with her Blood.
