Verse 7
7. A porch for the throne As the inner court of the house where the king dwelt was within this porch, (1 Kings 7:8,) the porch itself must have led to it from the outer porch of pillars. So this throne-chamber was between the porch of pillars and the inner court. (R in plan.) It was the place where the king received his officers of state, and also foreign ambassadors and princes on important occasions, and especially where he sat to hear and decide the cases that were submitted to his judgment, and hence called, by way of eminence, the porch of judgment. Here was the great throne of ivory, and its magnificent and awe-inspiring surroundings, which are mentioned in 1 Kings 10:18-20.
From one side of the floor to the other Rather, as the margin, from floor to floor; that is, from floor to ceiling.
