For the pottery unearthed in the excavations of the site, see Eilat Mazar, Preliminary Report on the City of David Excavations 2005 at the Visitors Center Area (Jerusalem: Shalem Press, 2007); Eilat Mazar, The Palace of King David: Excavations at the Summit of the City of David, Preliminary Report of Seasons 2005–2007 (Jerusalem: Shoham Academic Research and Publication, 2009).

For the court of the guard, see Gary A. Herion, “Guard, Court of the,” Anchor Bible Dictionary 2 (New York: Doubleday, 1992), 1099a.

While almost all English translations say “court of the guard,” the NJPS has “prison compound,” no doubt based on the reference in Jeremiah 32:2 as the place where the prophet was imprisoned.
