Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 6:1-10

Here, I. The temple is called the house of the Lord (1 Kgs. 6:1), because it was, 1. Directed and modelled by him. Infinite Wisdom was the architect, and gave David the plan or pattern by the Spirit, not by word of mouth only, but, for the greater certainty and exactness, in writing (1 Chron. 28:11, 12), as he had given to Moses in the mouth a draught of the tabernacle. 2. Dedicated and devoted to him and to his honour, to be employed in his service, so his as never any other house was, for he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:6

And the nethermost chamber was five cubits broad ,.... The nethermost row of them, which were upon the first floor: and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad ; so that the middlemost was a cubit larger than the lowest, and the highest a cubit larger than that: the reason of which was, for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about ; or rebatements; the thickness of the wall, as it was raised, became narrower at the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:7

And the house, when it was in building ,.... And all the while it was building: was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither ; being hewn or squared by the builders and stonesquarers of Solomon and Hiram, 1 Kings 5:18 ; wherefore the builders had nothing more to do than to lay them in their proper places in the building; it was built with these stones quite up to the ceiling, as Josephus says F20 Antiqu. l. 8. c. 3. sect. 2. ; and these so admirably polished, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 6:7

The house - was built of stone - It appears that every stone was hewn and squared, and its place in the building ascertained, before it came to Jerusalem: the timbers were fitted in like manner. This greatly lessened the trouble and expense of carriage. On this account, that all was prepared at Mount Lebanon, there was neither hammer, axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the building; nothing except mallets to drive the tenons into the mortises, and drive in the pins to fasten them,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:2-20

Christianity built on the Foundations of Judaism. The Jewish temple in its resemblance to the Gothic church is a not inapt illustration of the relations of Christianity to Judaism. The temple of Solomon was not only architecturally the exact reproduction on a larger scale, and in a more permanent form, of the tabernacle of witness, it was also the model and archetype of the sacred buildings of the Christian faith. In appearance, no doubt, it was somewhat different—the purposes for which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:6

The nethermost chamber [Heb. floor; cf. Ezekiel 41:6 ] was five cubits broad [It must be remembered that all the measurements are those of the interior], and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for [Explanation how these differences of size arose] without [ i.e; on the outside] in the wall of [Heb. omits ] the house [main building—nave, and chancel] he made [Heb. put ] narrowed rests [marg.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:7

And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready [Heb. perfect. This does not mean unhewn, though אֵבָנִים שְׁלְמוֹת is undoubtedly used in Deuteronomy 27:6 (cf. Exodus 20:25 ) of unhewn or virgin stone; and Gesenius would so understand the expression here, But the context seems rather to convey the idea that the stones were not shaped on the spot . It was apparently the belief of the ancients that stones of proper shape and size were provided in their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:7

Building in silence. This was due partly to the reverential feelings of those engaged in so holy a work. "The Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him." If we are upbuilding Christian character in ourselves, or in our children; if we are helping to rear the spiritual temple of God, such reverence, as opposed to thoughtlessness, flippancy, etc; should characterize us. The silence of the building was not only the outcome of devout feeling, but it was (like the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 6:6

In order to preserve the sanctity of the temple, and at the same time allow the attachment to it of secular buildings - sleeping apartments, probably, for the priests and other attendants - Solomon made “rebatements” in the wall of the temple, or in other words built it externally in steps, thus: The beams, which formed the roof of the chambers and the floors of the upper stories, were then laid on these steps or “rests” in the wall, not piercing the wall, or causing any real union of the... read more
