KJV expression generally rendered Mount of Assembly by modern translations. Part of Isaiah's exposure of the pride of the King of Babylon is the charge that he desired to ascend to the distant mountain where according to Babylonian myth the gods assembled (Isaiah 14:13 ). The desire is tantamount to a claim to divinity.
