Since it is a building or a series of buildings לַיהוָה אֶלֹהִים the referent must be the temple or the temple area. RSV "palace" NIV "palatial structure" | NRSV NJPS CEV GNT "temple". NRSV has "temple" in the text and a note "Heb. fortress". Klein has "temple" | Braun "palace" (but with the sense of "temple", cf. note). Knoppers 944 has "citadel" and explains: "there is reason to believe that bîrâ refers here to a complex of buildings, including the Temple (J. Schwartz 1996: 29–49), rather than to a single structure".'}
