Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a porch: 1 Kings 6:3

for the throne: 1 Kings 10:18-20, Psalms 122:5, Isaiah 9:7

of judgment: 1 Kings 3:9, 1 Kings 3:28, Proverbs 20:8

from one side of the floor to the other: Heb. from floor to floor

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 7:7. A porch for the throne — One porch appears to have been devoted to the purposes of administering judgment, which Solomon did in person.
