Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 4:9

"Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass." — 2 Chronicles 4:9 (ASV)

The court of the priests. — See 1 Kings 6:36; 1 Kings 7:12, “the inner court;”Jeremiah 36:10, “the higher court.”

And the great court. — ‘ ‘Azârâh, “court,” a late word, common in the Targums for the classical hâqçr, which was just mentioned. The ‘azârâh was the outer court of the temple. It is not mentioned at all in the parallel narrative.

The Septuagint calls it “the great court;” the Vulgate, “the great basilica.” The Syriac renders the whole verse: “And he made one great court for the priests and Levites, and covered the doors and bolts with bronze.” (Compare Note on 2 Chronicles 4:3 for this plating of the doors with bronze.)

The bronze-plated doors of Shalmaneser’s palace at Balawat were twenty-two feet high, and each leaf was six feet wide.
