Vessels of Brass and of Gold 1 Kings 7:40-51 As we pass from the outward to the inward part of the sanctuary, brass gives place to gold. The nearer we come to God’s throne in the Holy of Holies, the more costly and magnificent everything must become. Even snuffers, hinges, and spoons must be of gold. God’s highest service calls for our best in the least things that pertain to it. The enumeration of ornaments and utensils in brass and gold, leads to the announcement that Solomon gave up... read more

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 7:13-51

The Furnishing And Embellishment Of The Temple (1 Kings 7:13-51 ). The passage is divided into two parts. The first part emphasises that what is described was the work of Hiram, a skilled metalworker and carpenter from Tyre who was half Israelite, half Tyrian. He was called on to complete the furnishing and embellishing of the Temple for the Inner court. It will be noted that there is a deliberate attempt to parallel him with Bezalel, the craftsman who made the original Tabernacle furnishings... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:41-51

Summary Of The Great Achievement Of Solomon (1 Kings 7:41-51 ). We now have summarised Solomon’s great achievement.

Analysis. a Description of all that Hiram had made and finished for king Solomon in the house of YHWH, which were of... 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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 7:13-51

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 7:13. Fetched Hiram out of Tyre—He seems to have been eminent among the artists in metals for which Tyre and Phœnicia were then renowned. This man (of like name with the king) is designated in 2 Chronicles 2:13, by the title of honour אב—i.e., master, teacher, father (Keil). His genius was a natural gift of God (1 Kings 7:14). Note the difference between this phrase concerning Hiram, “filled with wisdom.” &c., and the statement as to the supernatural... 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
