the Oracle in the Midst 1 Kings 6:14-28 In the Temple the general design of the Tabernacle was perpetuated by the division between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, but there were several additions. For instance, there was a lofty porch in front of the Temple, beneath which the priests passed to the entrance. Also, on the other three sides were rooms, built one above the other in three stories. They were needed for storage purposes. Inside no stones were visible-all was of gilded... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 6:1-38

This chapter is full of interest, as it gives a somewhat detailed description of the structure of the Temple. In all essentials its actual central building was on the pattern of the Tabernacle. It was, however, twice the size of the Tabernacle, and was built of solid material because it was intended to remain in a permanent position, seeing that the nation was now settled in the land. Moreover, this settlement was symbolized by the fact that round about the Temple proper many chambers were... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 6:1-38

The Building Of The Temple And Its Specifications (1 Kings 6:1-38 ). The description of the building of the Temple, and its specifications, are now given in order to bring out the glory of Solomon, and the glowing picture (untainted by the later reality) suggests that the whole was taken from the original source. It was common for such information to be found in the records kept by kings of the ancient Near East, for their temples were an important aspect of their reigns, and thus there is no... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 6:15-38

Description Of The Embellishment Of The Building (1 Kings 6:15-38 ). Having been given the description of the erection of the basic stonework we are now provided with brief details of how the building was embellished, which emphasises the wealth that was poured into it. Once again we have the problem of technical information and unusual technical words which would have been quite understandable to the builders but are somewhat of a mystery to us. The passage has been described as... read more

The Lining Of The Building And Creation Of The Most Holy Place (1 Kings 6:16-19 ). 1 Kings 6:15 ‘ And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood, and he covered the floor of the house with boards of pine.’ The whole inside of the building from top to bottom was covered with boards of cedar, and the floor was covered with pine wood. These walls would later be carved with carved... read more

1 Kings 6:1-Haggai : . Description of Solomon’ s Temple.— The Temple area is on the eastern hill of Jerusalem, which overlooks the valley of the Kidron, with the Mount of Olives on the opposite side. It was probably not the Zion captured by David (2 Samuel 5), but the site was purchased by him from Ornan, or Araunah, the Jebusite ( 2 Samuel 24:18-Lamentations :). It is marked by an outcrop of rock, now called the Sakrah. The Temple hill is divided from the Upper City on the western hill by a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 6:18

All was cedar, i.e. all the house was covered with cedar. Quest. How was this true, when it was covered with fir, 2 Chronicles 3:5? Answ. 1. It was done with cedar and fir; of which See Poole "1 Kings 6:15". 2. It may be said to be all cedar, because the greatest part was so, universal particles being oft so used. 3. Cedar is here named, not to exclude all other wood, but stone only, as the following words show. 4. Or, all was of cedar; that is, all the carving was of cedar. read more

THE BUILDING OF SOLOMON’S TEMPLECRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 6:1. Began to build the house of the Lord—The chronological year is carefully noted, and no criticism supplies reason for changing the figures here given. The Sept. reads 440 instead of 480, but is supported by no ancient MS. The site was Mount Moriah (2 Chronicles 3:1). “The uneven rock of Moriah had to be levelled, and the inequalities filled by immense substructions of great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones” (1... read more
