The camp of the Lord.

2 . To the temple. ( 2 Chronicles 31:2 .) On Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, which Ahaz had closed during the latter years of his reign ( 2 Chronicles 28:24 ), but Hezekiah had now opened, cleansed, and rededicated to the worship of Jehovah ( 2 Chronicles 29:1-36 ; 2 Chronicles 30:1-27 .).

3 . To the Church of God.

II. WHAT THIS DESIGNATION MEANT .

1 . That the Lord had pitched his tent there. This was true
