The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:19

The Ark of the Covenant of the Lord. This temple of Solomon, so "exceeding magnifical," this "holy and beautiful house," "of fame and glory throughout all lands"—why was it built? what its primary purpose? It was above everything else a home for the ark ( 1 Kings 8:1 , 1 Kings 8:6 ), a place for the Divine Glory which hovered over it. In this temple, unlike the shrines of Paganism, there was no statue, no similitude of God. Here was no "image which fell down from Jupiter," no Baal or... read more

1 Kings 6:19-20. And the oracle Or, rather, the most holy place. He prepared That is, he adorned and fitted it for the reception of the ark.

2. Temple construction ch. 6After arrangements for building the temple were in order, construction began. This building took seven years to complete (1 Kings 6:38)."In an earlier era scholars debunked the reality of a temple in Israel like Solomon’s because nothing similar was known from the ancient Near East. However, at ’Ain Dara (and earlier in Tall Ta’yinat), Syria, a temple from the tenth century B.C. came to light that bore a remarkable similarity to the temple of Jerusalem. The size is... read more
