Jeremiah38:14
14 ¶ Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD ; And the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing: hide nothing from me .
Some think that this were better Translated, that is, near the house of the Lord, and that this third entry or principal entry, was that ascent out of the Kings house into the Temple, mentioned 1 Kings 10.5. which was one of the things the Queen of Sheba admired, for it is hardly probable, that Ieremiah being in a prison within the compass of the Kings house, the King should especially at such a time go out of his house to so publick a place as the Temple, for a private conference with the Prophet.
The King desires him faithfully to tell him what he knew in a business he should inquire of him.
