Verse 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 only for grandeur and magnificence:
and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them ; the pillars of the porch, on which were laid beams of cedar for a storey over them, and so on; these were before and right against, and answered to the pillars of the house.
