Easton's Bible Dictionary

Hebrews mishneh (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22), rendered in Revised Version "second quarter", the residence of the prophetess Huldah. The Authorized Version followed the Jewish commentators, who, following the Targum, gave the Hebrew word its post-Biblical sense, as if it meant a place of instruction. It properly means the "second," and may therefore denote the lower city (Acra), which was built after the portion of the city on Mount Zion, and was enclosed by a second wall.

Noah Webster's Dictionary

1. (n.) A collection, body, or society of persons engaged in common pursuits, or having common duties and interests, and sometimes, by charter, peculiar rights and privileges; as, a college of heralds; a college of electors; a college of bishops.

2. (n.) A society of scholars or friends of learning, incorporated for study or instruction, esp. in the higher branches of knowledge; as, the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and many American colleges.

3. (n.) A building, or number of buildings, used by a college.

4. (n.) Fig.: A community.

COLLEGE

kol'-ej: This is the rendering of the King James Version for Hebrew Mishneh (mishneh, 2 Kings 22:14 = 2 Chronicles 34:22; compare Zephaniah 1:10). It is found in the Targum of Jonathan on 2 Kings 22:14 and rests on a faulty combination with Mishna, the well-known code of laws of the 2nd century A.D. the Revised Version (British and American) renders "second quarter" (of the city); 2 Chronicles 34:22 the King James Version margin, "the school."
