G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Taking advantage of the treaty with Hiram, Solomon also built a house for himself, the house of the forest of Lebanon, a description of which is given in the commencement of this chapter. It is surely significant that the chronicler says concerning the Temple, "So he was seven years in building It”; and then, 'And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years." Comment is hardly necessary, save, perhaps, to remind ourselves that however strong our zeal may be for the Ark of God, if the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-12

The Building Of Solomon’s Own Palace (1 Kings 7:1-12 ). The building of Solomon’s palace complex comes between the description of the building of the Temple and the further details of the completion of the Temple in 1 Kings 7:13-51). This may well have been because they were all included within the wall of the Great Court (1 Kings 7:9; 1 Kings 7:12). But a more patent reason is that the writer was bringing out how much longer the time was that was spent on Solomon’s palace complex than on the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

1 Kings 7. Solomon’ s Palace (1 Kings 1-12). The Temple Implements (1Kings 13– 51).— Twenty years ( cf. 1 Kings 9:10 with 1 Kings 7:1) was Solomon engaged in building. After completing the Temple he built his own palace, with its courts and approaches. These, according to Stade, were erected on the Ophel hill, which lay S. of the Temple mountain, and were constructed so as to lead up to the sanctuary itself. The whole chapter, like most of the 6th, is from a source descriptive of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 7:10

Stones of ten cubits; not square, which would have been both unnecessary, and unportable, and unmanageable; but of solid measure, by which stones and timber are usually measured; and so they were only two cubits square, but there were twenty solid cubits contained in them. And so also the following eight cubits are to be understood. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 7:1-12

THE SPLENDOUR OF SOLOMON’S BUILDINGSCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 7:1. Solomon was building his own house thirteen years—Because no previous building preparations had been made for the palace as for the temple, and there was less urgency about the king’s house than that God’s Holy Place should be prepared wherein He and His people might meet; and Solomon was more zealous in his work for Jehovah than for himself. 1 Kings 7:2. He built also, &c. Lange, Michaelis, and others regard... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Chapter 7But Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years, and he finished all of his house ( 1 Kings 7:1 ).So it shows where his priorities began to turn. Seven years building the house of God, then turning around and for thirteen years building his own. But then it goes on and tells of the dimensions of the Solomon's house and the foundations of this costly, great stones; ten cubits, which would be fifteen feet, and eight cubits, which would be about twelve feet, so twelve to fifteen... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 7:1-51

1 Kings 7:1 . Solomon was thirteen years in building his own palace in Jerusalem, because fewer workmen were employed, many of whom were still engaged on the exterior parts of the temple. 1 Kings 7:2 . He built also the house (the palace) of the forest of Lebanon. A forest adjacent to Jerusalem, called so, as having some resemblance to Lebanon. 1 Kings 7:7 . He made a porch for the throne. In England, our courts were open in porches, as the old court in Durham. 1 Kings 7:9 . ... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Kings 7:1-12

1 Kings 7:1-12Solomon was building his own house thirteen years.Building God’s house and one’s ownA very curious thing this, that whilst Solomon was building the temple of God he was also building his own house. It does not follow that when a man is building his own house he is also building the temple of God; but it inevitably follows that when a man is deeply engaged in promoting the interests of the Divine sanctuary, he is most truly laying the foundations of his own house, and completing... read more
