2 Chronicles 36:17

In the house of their sanctuary; either in Jerusalem, which was the dwelling-place of God's sanctuary; or, in the house which was their sanctuary; as the river of Euphrates, Genesis 15:18, is the river which is Euphrates. It is probable they killed them in the very courts and house of God, to which some of them fled for refuge, such places being esteemed sacred and inviolable by the heathens themselves.
