College: Heb. mishneh
(2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22) rendered in Revised Version "second
quarter", the residence of the prophetess Huldah. The Authorized
Version followed the Jewish commentators, who, following the Targum,
gave the Hebrew word its post-Biblical sense, as if it meant a place
of instruction. It properly means the "second," and may therefore
denote the lower city (Acra), which was built after the portion of
the city on Mount Zion, and was enclosed by a second wall.
