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 6:21

So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold ,.... The inside of the holy of holies with fine gold, which gold amounted to six hundred talents, 2 Chronicles 3:8 ; and these to 7,332,000 ducats of gold, or 3,045,000 pounds sterling: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle ; between the holy and the most holy, and were instead of a vail in the tabernacle of Moses between them; here was also a vail beside the partition made by chains of gold across the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:22

And the whole house he overlaid with gold ,.... Both the holy place, and the most holy place: until he had finished all the house ; in this splendid and glorious manner: also the whole altar that was by the oracle ; the altar of incense, which stood just before the entrance into the oracle, or most holy place: he overlaid with gold ; he overlaid it all over with gold; hence it is called the golden altar, and was an emblem of the excellent and effectual mediation and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:23

And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree ,.... Or of the oil tree, as in Isaiah 41:19 ; see Nehemiah 8:15 ; for there are other trees besides olives, out of which oil is pressed, as pine trees, cypress trees, &c.; and which some think are here meant; though the Targum interprets it of the olive tree: these cherubim are different from those made by Moses, and were besides them; these were larger than they; these were made of olive wood, they of gold; these stood on... read more

The whole house he overlaid with gold - It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:21

So [Heb. And . The ornamentation of the holy place is next mentioned] Solomon overlaid the house [as well as the oracle] within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle [These words are extremely obscure. The prevailing view is that of Gesenius, al; that יַעֲבֵּר = "he bolted," etc. But, if so, what did the chains bolt? Bähr says, the boards of the cedar partition, just as the bars fastened together the boards of the tabornacle ( Exodus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:22

And the whole house he overlaid with gold [This no mere repetition, more Hebraico, as Bähr and Keil would have us think. Something additional must surely be referred to, and 2 Chronicles 3:4 warrants us in understanding this statement to include the porch, the interior of which was gilded. Because the porch is elsewhere ( 2 Chronicles 3:3 ) distinguished from the "house," it does not follow that it can never be comprehended under that term] until he had finished all the house: also ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:23

And within the oracle [The description now passes on to the mysterious symbolic figures which were placed in the holy of holies] he made two cherubims [As to the nature, composition, and significance of the cherubim, see notes on Exodus 25:19 ; Exodus 37:7 . The only particulars which will require notice here are those in which the cherub of the temple differed from that of the tabernacle] of olive tree [Heb. trees or wood of oil. The oleaster (wild olive) is supposed to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:23

The Mystery of the Cherubim. That the cherubim were symbolic no one denies. They are so often mentioned in Scripture that their meaning has been frequently discussed. Enumerate some of the opinions held. The view we accept is that they were symbolic representations of redeemed humanity. They were intended to inspire men with hope of redemption, from the day when the Lord placed them at the east of the garden of Eden, till the vision of Jn ( Revelation 21:1-27 .) is fulfilled in the... read more

The house - i. e., the main chamber.The chains of gold - Omit “the.” Their object was to form a barrier between the holy place and the holy of holies. read more
