列王紀上 6:15-18 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 6:15-38

Here, I. We have a particular account of the details of the building. 1. The wainscot of the temple. It was of cedar (1 Kgs. 6:15), which was strong and durable, and of a very sweet smell. The wainscot was curiously carved with knops (like eggs or apples) and flowers, no doubt as the fashion then was, 1 Kgs. 6:18. 2. The gilding. It was not like ours, washed over, but the whole house, all the inside of the temple (1 Kgs. 6:22), even the floor (1 Kgs. 6:30), he overlaid with gold, and the most... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:15

And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar ,.... For as yet he had only built the stone walls of it without, but now he wainscotted it with cedar boards: and not only them, but both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling ; or from "the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling"; that is, from the floor, including that, to the walls on each side, reaching up to the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood : of one sort or another,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:16

And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house ,.... At the end or extremity of it, as the Targum; that is, he built the most holy place, which was twenty two cubits long, at the end of the holy place, which he wainscotted as the other: both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar ; or from the floor, including that, to the walls on each side, from wall to wall, and taking in them, they were all lined with cedar wood: he even built them for it within, even for the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:17

And the house, that is , the temple before it ,.... The holy place, which was before the of holies: was forty cubits long ; and which, with the most holy place, being twenty cubits, as in the preceding verse, made the length of the whole house sixty cubits, as in 1 Kings 6:2 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:18

And the cedar of the house within ,.... With which the inside of the place was lined: was carved with knops ; of an oval form; so the Targum says, they had the appearance of eggs; and Ben Gersom likewise, that they were in the form of eggs: and open flowers ; not in the figure of buds, but flowers blown, and open, as lilies and others; so the Targum: all was cedar ; the wainscotting of the house, the sides of it at least, if not the floor, and the carved work of it; and this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:2-20

Christianity built on the Foundations of Judaism. The Jewish temple in its resemblance to the Gothic church is a not inapt illustration of the relations of Christianity to Judaism. The temple of Solomon was not only architecturally the exact reproduction on a larger scale, and in a more permanent form, of the tabernacle of witness, it was also the model and archetype of the sacred buildings of the Christian faith. In appearance, no doubt, it was somewhat different—the purposes for which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:15

And he built [ i.e; constructed, covered ] the walls of the house within [but not without also, as Stanley affirms, "Its massive stonewalls were entirely cased in cedar, so as to give it the appearance of a rough log house"] with boards [or beams ( צְלָעוֹת ): same word as in 1 Kings 6:5-8 ] of cedar [Heb. cedars. The practice of covering stone walls with a lining of wood, which in turn was ornamented with gold or colour ( Jeremiah 22:14 ), seems to have had its origin in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:16

And he built twenty cubits on [Heb. from ] the sides of the house both the floor and the walls [Heb. as in verse 15, "from the floor to the walls" (or beams). If קִירוֹת is a copyist's error, it is repeated here] with boards of cedar [He is now speaking of the wooden partition which separated the oracle from the temple of the house. At a distance of 20 cubits, measured along the sides from the west end of the house, he erected a cedar wall which reached from the floor to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:17

And the house, that is, the temple before it [or, the anterior temple. The portion of the structure before the oracle is sometimes called, as here, "the house;" sometimes (as in ver, 5) "the temple; sometimes (as in 1 Kings 6:4 ) "the temple of the house;" or, as here again, "the front temple," לִפְנַי is supposed to be an adjective formed from לִפְנֵי . Thenius, however, supposes that דְּבִיר ( oracle ) has fallen out of the text. Our author now describes the division of the... read more
