[1 Samuel 15:6](../../../kjv/1-samuel/15/6) . They were proselytes, not idolaters; inhabiting the wilderness south of Judah. **one of the chambers.** There were many, for various purposes of the Temple worship. Compare [Jeremiah 36:10](../../../kjv/jeremiah/36/10) with [1 Kings 6:5](../../../kjv/1-kings/6/5) . [1 Chronicles 9:27](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/9/27) .

See App-49 . **Maaseiah, &c.** He was the deputy of the High Priest. Compare [Jeremiah 52:24](../../../kjv/jeremiah/52/24) . [2 Kings 25:18](../../../kjv/2-kings/25/18) . Probably the same whose son Zephaniah, after the carrying away of Maaseiah with Jehoiachin ([Jeremiah 29:1](../../../kjv/jeremiah/29/1) ), held office under Zedekiah ([Jeremiah 21:1](../../../kjv/jeremiah/21/1) ; [Jeremiah 29:5](../../../kjv/jeremiah/29/5) ; [Jeremiah 37:3](../../../kjv/jeremiah/37/3) ). **keeper of the door** = keeper of the threshold. There were three. See [2 Kings 25:18](../../../kjv/2-kings/25/18) . [2 Chronicles 31:14](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/31/14) . **pots** = bowls. **for ever** = unto times age-abiding. **build.** This was as essential as the former injunction. **live many days, &c.** Reference to Pentateuch ([Exodus 20:12](../../../kjv/exodus/20/12) ).

Jonadab is not justified by this for imposing his will on all his posterity. **the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel** = Jehovah Elohim Zeba'oth, Elohim of Israel. See App-4 . This is the fullest (and therefore the most solemn) use of this Divine title.
