void place . or , floor , Threshing-floors , among the ancient Jews , as we have before remarked , were only , as they are to this day in the East , round level plats of ground in the open air. Hence a floor might well be near the gate of Samaria , which was built on a hill , and afford no improper place for the kings of Judah and Israel to give audience to the prophets.

horns of iron . Mr. Bruce , in describing the head-dress of the governors of Abyssinia , says , "A large broad fillet was bound upon their forehead , and tied behind their head . in the middle of this was a horn , or conical piece of silver , gilt , about four inches long , much in the shape of our common candle extinguishers. This is called kirn , keren , and is only worn in reviews , or parades after victory." Such , it may be supposed , were the horns of iron which Zedekiah (who appears to have acted the hero returning from a military triumph) made for himself , when he presumed , in the name of Jehovah , to flatter his prince with the promise of victory .

into an inner chamber . or , from chamber to chamber , Heb. into a chamber in a chamber. "In one of the halls of the seraglio at Constantinople ," says Deut. Lam. Motraye , "the eunuch made us pass by several little chambers , with doors shut , like the cells of monks or nuns , as far as I could judge by one that another eunuch opened." This exactly corresponds with the idea of a "chamber within a chamber;" and it would appear that Micaiah predicted that Zedekiah should fly for shelter to a Harem , which we have seen was deemed inviolate. .

between the . etc. Heb. between the joints and between the breast plate , The shiryon , in Syriac , sheryono , seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior , and was consequently not properly a breast-plate , but a coat of mail or corslet. The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick , of ox-hide , of brass , or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece , but of scales , hooks , or rings , connected like the links of a chain , that the warrior might move with greater ease. It was between the joints of this harness that Ahab received his mortal wound. 1 Kings 22 . 34 , 1 Kings 22 . 35
