Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 2:6

6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle , as if it were of a garden, he hath destroyed his places of the assembly : the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts, and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest .

The word translated Tabernacle (say some) signifies an hedge or fence, and they would have it here so translated, and so the phrase should denote Gods withdrawing his protection from the Iews, but it is no where so translated. It is another word used, Psal. 80.12. and 89.40. The most judicious interpreters think that the word here signifieth the Temple, and the rather because of what followeth.

By the places of the assembly may be understood the Synagogues.

By the King and the Priest are meant persons of greatest Rank and Eminency, though it is thought here is a special reference to Zedekiah the King of Iudah, and Seraiah who was the High Priest, the former of which was miserably handled, the latter slain.

Marginal references: Isa. 5.5.; Or, hedge.
