John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Solomon’s PalaceThis c, besides giving a description of Solomon’s palace, contains an account of the principal utensils belonging to the Temple.1. Thirteen years] The Temple was of small extent compared with the royal palace, so that the time spent on the latter exceeded that required for the former. The various buildings mentioned in 1 Kings 7:2-8 seem together to have constituted the house of 1 Kings 7:1.2. He built also] RV ’for he built.’ The house of the forest of Lebanon] so called from... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 7:13-50

(13-50) The exceedingly graphic and elaborate description of the work of Hiram on the vessels and furniture of the Temple, and on the great pillars, bears on the very face of it the most evident marks of historical accuracy and of the use of contemporary documents, and it has, moreover, great antiquarian interest. Looked at in itself, it shows that the Temple (like many other buildings in the comparative infancy of architecture) depended for its effect, not so much on size or proportion, as on... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 7:15-22

(15-22) With regard to the two pillars, Jachin (“He shall establish”) and Boaz (“In it is strength”), the text gives no account of their destination, except that they were set up in the porch of the Temple (1 Kings 7:21). Mr. Fergusson considers that they were supports to the roof of the vestibule; and if this were thirty cubits high, the twenty-seven cubits of each pillar, allowing for the slope of the roof to the apex, would suit well enough. But the absence of all reference to their position... read more

THE IDEAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TEMPLE1 Kings 7:13-51; 1 Kings 8:12-61"The hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth."- John 4:21; John 4:23.FIVE long chapters of the First Book of Kings are devoted to the description of Solomon’s Temple, which occupies a still larger space in the Books of Chronicles. The Temple was regarded as the permanent... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

THREE MORE HOUSES (vs.1-12) Only one verse speaks of Solomon's own house, which took 13 years to build. However, the order of that house is seen in chapter 10:4-5. This is typical of the Church of God today, of which the Lord says, "On this Rock I will build My Church" (Matthew 16:18). It is interesting that when Solomon's house is spoken of in1 Kings 10:4-5; 1 Kings 10:4-5, there is special mention made of "his ascent by which he went up to the house of the Lord" (KJV). This speaks... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:1-51

BUILDING THE TEMPLE THE WORK IN OUTLINE (1 Kings 6:1-14 ) Note the particularities as to date, dimensions and general appearance (1 Kings 6:1-4 ), on which space will not permit extended comment. As to the size of the cubit, the question as to whether the elevation is external or internal, the description and purpose of the windows, for example, students must be referred to Bible dictionaries. The chambers (1 Kings 6:5-10 ) on three sides of the temple seem to have been three stories high,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Solomon's Temple 1 Kings 6-7 THESE chapters should be compared with 2 Chron. iii.-iv. indeed the whole story should be read in the various forms which it is made to assume in all the historical books, for without this survey of all the parts we might easily come to false conclusions regarding many of the details. In this matter of the history of the temple the Kings and the Chronicles must be considered as filling up what is lacking in each other, and only the whole can be taken as supplying... read more

(15) For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. (16) And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits: (17) And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.... read more
