1 Reis 5:5-6 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 5:1-9

We have here an account of the amicable correspondence between Solomon and Hiram. Tyre was a famous trading city, that lay close upon the sea, in the border of Israel; its inhabitants (as should seem) were none of the devoted nations, nor ever at enmity with Israel, and therefore David never offered to destroy them, but lived in friendship with them. It is here said of Hiram their king that he was ever a lover of David; and we have reason to think he was a worshipper of the true God, and had... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 5:5

And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God ,.... For his worship, and for his honour and glory: as the Lord spake unto David my father ; by the prophet Nathan, 2 Samuel 7:12 ; saying, thy son whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name ; which was no small encouragement to Solomon to go about this work; in which he was a type of Christ, the builder of his temple, the church, see Zechariah 6:12 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 5:6

Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedars out of Lebanon ,.... That is, order his servants to cut them down there for him. Some think that Lebanon belonged to the land of Israel, and therefore Solomon did not ask for the cedars upon it, but for his servants to hew them for him; but as it lay upon the borders of Israel, part of it might belong to them, and another part to Hiram, and on which the best cedars might grow, and so he furnished Solomon both with trees, and men to cut them,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 5:6

Any that can skill to hew timber - An obsolete and barbarous expression for any that know how to cut timber. They had neither sawyers, carpenters, joiners, nor builders among them, equal to the Sidonians. Sidon was a part of the territories of Hiram, and its inhabitants appear to have been the most expert workmen. It requires more skill to fell and prepare timber than is generally supposed. Vitruvius gives some rules relative to this, lib. ii., cap. 9, the sum of which is this: ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 5:2-6

The Temple. Read also 2 Chronicles 2:1-10 , where additional light is thrown on this transaction. It marks a period of extreme interest and importance in Hebrew history. It introduces us, by anticipation, to that which was the crowning glory of the reign of Solomon, for his name must ever stand connected with the magnificence of the first Temple, though it be but as a gorgeous dream of the far distant past, which imagination strives in vain to reproduce with distinctness and certainty.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 5:5

And, behold, I purpose [Heb. behold me saying ( אָמַר , with infin, expresses purpose. Cf. Exodus 2:14 ; 2 Samuel 21:16 )] to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying [ 2 Samuel 7:12 , 2 Samuel 7:13 . He thus gives Hiram to understand that he is carrying out his father's plans, and plans which had the Divine sanction, and that this is no fanciful project of a young prince], Thy son whom I will set upon thy throne in thy ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 5:5

The building of the Temple. "Behold I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God." Every man has some special work given him by God. It is of the utmost importance that he should find out what that work is, if he would not make his life a failure and come short of the purpose of God for him. In the ease of Solomon the great work given him to do was not to extend the boundaries of his kingdom, but to build the temple of the Lord. This he clearly understood, as is evident... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 5:6

Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon [Heb. the Lebanon, i.e; the White ( so. mountain). "It is the Merit Blanc of Palestine" (Porter); but whether it is so called because of its summits of snow or because of the colour of its limestone is uncertain. Practically, the cedars are now found in one place only, though Ehrenberg is said to have found them in considerable numbers to the north of the road between Baalbek and Tripoli. "At the head of Wady... read more
