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 De La 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. (See on 1 Sa 19:16.)

By these means they shared the dishonest gains with the princes, or availed themselves of their authority to gratify their avarice or revenge.
