2Ch 18:9 — And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in [their] robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

sat either		1Ki 22:10-12; Isa 14:9; Eze 26:16; Dan 7:9; Mat 19:28
clothed		2Ch 18:29; Mat 6:29; Mat 11:8
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.
all the prophets		Jer 27:14-16
