John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:38

In the eleventh year ,.... That is, of the reign of Solomon: in the month Bul, which is the eighth month ; from the month Abib or Nisan; this month answers to part of our October, and part of November; it is the same month sometimes called Marchesvan; it had the name of Bul, because of the rains which usually fell in this month, as Kimchi thinks, like a flood; and Noah's flood is called Mabbul, from the same root F9 נבל "concidit", Buxtorf. , and when all the fruits were... read more

Three rows of hewed stone , and a row of cedar beams - Does not this intimate that there were three courses of stone, and then one course of timber all through this wall? Three strata of stone and one stratum of timber, and so on. If so, could such a building be very durable? This is also referred to in the succeeding chapter, 1 Kings 7:11 ; and as both the temple and Solomon's house were built in the same manner, we may suppose that this was the ordinary way in which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 6:38

In the eleventh year - was the house finished - It is rather strange that this house required seven years and about six months to put all the stones and the timbers in their places, for we have already seen that they were all prepared before they came to Jerusalem; but the ornamenting, gilding, or overlaying with gold, making the carved work, cherubim, trees, flowers, etc., must have consumed a considerable time. The month Bul answers to a part of our October and November, as... read more

And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims [lit. openings, i.e; gravings or indentations of cherubim, פִּתּוּחִים is used of gravings in stone, Exodus 28:11 ; Exodus 39:6 : in metal, Exodus 28:36 ; Exodus 39:30 ] and palm trees and open flowers [The open flowers may well have been lilies ( 1 Kings 7:19 , 1 Kings 7:22 , 1 Kings 7:26 ). It is uncertain whether there were one or more rows of cherubim and palms. Keil, arguing from... read more

And for the entering of the oracle, he made doors [which hung on golden hinges ( 1 Kings 7:50 ] of olive tree [see on 1 Kings 7:23 )], the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall. [The meaning of the Hebrew words has been much disputed. See Gesen. Thesaur, 1. pp. 43-45. Gesen. himself interprets as A.V.: crepido cum postibus erat quinta pars, i.e; quintam parietis partem occupabat. The Rabbins: the "entablature with side posts and threshold formed a pentagon." But a... read more

The two doors also wore [Rather, perhaps, "And he made" is to be supplied from 1 Kings 6:31 , as Keil. Rawlinson remarks that such doors as these are characteristic of Assyrian gateways] of olive tree: and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread [ וַיָּרֶד Hiph. of רָדַד ] gold [Heb. the gold ] upon the cherubims and upon the palm trees [The writer means, not that the carving alone was gilded—as... read more

So also [ i.e; similarly] made he for the door [or entrance, doorway ] of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth [Heb. from a fourth ] part of the wall. It is uncertain whether we are to understand the "fourth part" of the height or of the breadth of the doorway, though the latter is probably meant. The height of the wall is variously estimated; generally at 30 (verse 2), but by Rawlinson at 20 cubits. But the breadth is beyond dispute. It was 20 cubits. The doorway,... read more

And the two doors were [As in 1 Kings 6:32 , the verb is to be supplied from the verse preceding. And he made two doors, etc.] of fir tree [ בְּרוֹש see note on 1 Kings 5:8 ]: the two leaves [lit. ribs, same word as in 1 Kings 5:5 , 1 Kings 5:8 , 1 Kings 5:10 ] of the one door were folding [Heb. rolling ], and the two leaves [ קְלָעִים is probably—a clerical error for צְלָעִים arising out of the קָלַע , in verses 32, 35] of the other [Heb. second ... read more

And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers [The constant recurrence of the same forms is in itself a proof that they must have been significant], and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work [Heb. made straight upon the engraved work. That is to say, the gold fitted closely to all the uneven and indented surface of the figures. Elsewhere, laminae were simply laid upon the level walls, etc.] read more
