Imagine a large round open arena. Seats are surrounding a large open area. We are told the following about the arena: "the king's arena, a structure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and plan were borrowed from afar ...When all the people had assembled in the galleries, and the king, surrounded by his court, sat high up on his throne of royal state on one side of the arena, a door beneath him.. an amphitheater, on the other side of the enclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side." Imagine a large arena like the Romans built for their gladiators. Think of a large modern football stadium, only this would have been built of wood and stone.
