Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 7:1-12

Never had any man so much of the spirit of building as Solomon had, nor to better purpose; he began with the temple, built for God first, and then all his other buildings were comfortable. The surest foundations of lasting prosperity are those which are laid in an early piety, Matt. 6:33. 1. He built a house for himself (1 Kgs. 7:1), where he dwelt, 1 Kgs. 7:8. His father had built a good house; but it was no reflection upon his father for him to build a better, in proportion to the estate... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:6

And he made a porch of pillars ,.... At the west end of the house: and the length thereof was fifty cubits ; answerable to the breadth of the house: and the breadth thereof thirty cubits : which, added to the length of the house, made it one hundred and thirty: and the porch was before them ; the four rows of cedar pillars of the house, 1 Kings 7:2 this porch was either for his guards to keep watch in; or for his courtiers to walk in, sheltered from rain or the like; or perhaps... read more

Then he made a porch for the throne ,.... The ivory throne on which he sat to hear and try causes, 1 Kings 10:18 , where he might judge, even the porch of judgment : which had its name from thence; this was either in his house in the forest of Lebanon, or in his palace at Jerusalem; the former seems best: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor unto the other ; that is, the whole floor. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 7:6

And he made a porch of pillars [Heb. the porch of pillars. This was no doubt a covered colonnade, i.e; it had a roof but no sides. The pillars were its only walls. But here the question presents itself, Was this porch the vestibule of the house of the forest of Lebanon, just described? From the correspondence between its width and that of this palace, Rawlinson infers that it was (cf. 1 Kings 6:2 , 1 Kings 6:3 ). Bähr believes it to have been the porch or entrance to the hall of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 7:7

Then he made a porch [or the porch] for the throne where he might Judge [ i.e; it was at once audience chamber (throne room, 1 Kings 10:18 ) and court of justice], even the porch of judgment [Stanley remarks that this "porch, or gate of justice, still kept alive the likeness of the old patriarchal custom of sitting in judgment at the gate." He then refers to the "gate of justice" at Granada and the "Sublime Porte "at Constantinople. It is, perhaps, not quite so certain that "this... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 7:6

Probably the porch of the “House of the Forest.” Porches of columns immediately in front of columnar chambers were a favorite feature of Persian architecture. The whole verse should be translated, “And he made the porch of the pillars in length 50 cubits, and in breadth 30 cubits, and a porch before them (i. e., the pillars), and pillars, and a base (or step) before them.” Most of the Persepolitan porches had small pillared chambers at some little distance in front of them. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 7:7

The porch or gate of justice still kept alive the likeness of the old patriarchal custom of sitting in judgment at the gate; exactly as the “Gate of justice” still recalls it at Granada, and the Sublime Porte - “the Lofty Gate” - at Constantinople. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 7:6

1 Kings 7:6. And he made a porch of pillars That is, supported by divers pillars: this was for his guard, and for people to walk in who came upon business, as well as for the more magnificent entrance into the house. Upon this also it is probable there were other rooms built as in the house. The porch was before them That is, before the pillars of the great house before spoken of. And the other pillars, &c. Or, and pillars, that is, fewer and lesser pillars for the support of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 7:7

1 Kings 7:7. He made a porch for the throne, even the porch of judgment So it was called, because here he sat to judge and determine the causes that were brought before him. But some think it unlikely that this porch was adjoining to the house of the forest of Lebanon. They judge it more probable that it was built in some place near the royal palace in Jerusalem, and is here mentioned because the writer was speaking of other porches. And it was covered, &c., from one side of the floor... read more
