Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 6:5

Against the wall; or, upon it; or, joining to it; for the beams of the chambers were not fastened into the wall, but leaned upon the buttresses of the wall. He built chambers, for the laying the priests’ garments and other utensils belonging to the temple, or to the worship of God, therein: see 2 Kings 11:2; 1 Chronicles 28:12; Ezekiel 42:13,Ezekiel 42:14. Round about; not simply, for there were none on the, east side; and it may seem that there were some spaces left for the windows, which... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 6:1-38

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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:1-38

Chapter 6So in chapter six he began to build the temple.In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the second month, they began the building of the temple. Now the temple was to be ninety feet long and thirty feet wide, and forty-five feet tall ( 1 Kings 6:1-2 ).So if you can picture now in your mind, ninety feet is just about from the edge of the platform here to the back door. So that's... read more

1 Kings 6:1-14He began to build the house of the Lord.The temple builtSolomon’s temple is the most wonderful and interesting building in the world’s history. It was “the mysterious centre of Israel.” It was far more to Israel than the Vatican is to Rome. It was, so long as it stood, God’s only earthly palace and temple. The Pyramids of Egypt were old when it was built, and they show no signs of decay. Solomon’s temple utterly perished after four centuries. Greek and Roman artists have given the... read more

5. Against the wall On the outside of the main building, as the sequel shows, and built up against it, as a lateral building, or lean-to. Chambers The Hebrew word thus rendered, ( יצוע , here and in 1 Kings 6:10 construed as masculine, and taken collectively, as the plural rendering shows, but feminine in 1 Kings 6:6, where it is rendered in the singular,) comes from a root signifying to spread out, as in spreading a couch, and is used in the sense of a couch or bed in Genesis 49:4;... read more
