列王纪上 7:48-49 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:48-51

48-51 Christ is now the Temple and the Builder; the Altar and the Sacrifice; the Light of our souls, and the Bread of life; able to supply all the wants of all that have applied or shall apply to him. Outward images cannot represent, words cannot express, the heart cannot conceive, his preciousness or his love. Let us come to him, and wash away our sins in his blood; let us seek for the purifying grace of his Spirit; let us maintain communion with the Father through his intercession, and yield... read more

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

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.

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

All the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord; such as God by the mouth of Moses had commanded to be made for his house and service, and such as Moses had made; only these were larger, and richer, and more, according to the difference of the temple and tabernacle, and Solomon’s vast riches, and the poverty of Moses and the Israelites at that time. The altar of gold, to wit, of incense, as appears from 1 Chronicles 28:18, where this is mentioned amongst the things for which David... read more
