Contextual Overview

1 King Solomon also built a palace for himself; it took him thirteen years to finish it. 2 Built of cedars from the Forest of Lebanon, it was one hundred fifty feet long, seventy-five feet wide, and forty-five feet high. It had four rows of cedar columns which supported the cedar beams. 3 There were forty-five beams on the roof, with fifteen beams in each row, and the ceiling was covered with cedar above the beams. 4 Windows were placed in three rows facing each other. 5 All the doors were square, and the three doors at each end faced each other. 6 Solomon also built the porch that had pillars. This porch was seventy-five feet long and forty-five feet wide. Along the front of the porch was a roof supported by pillars. 7 Solomon also built a throne room where he judged people, called the Hall of Justice. This room was covered with cedar from the floor to the ceiling. 8 The palace where Solomon lived was built like the Hall of Justice, and it was behind this hall. Solomon also built the same kind of palace for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt. 9 All these buildings were made with blocks of fine stone. First they were carefully cut. Then they were trimmed with a saw in the front and back. These fine stones went from the foundations of the buildings to the top of the walls. Even the courtyard was made with blocks of stone. 10 The foundations were made with large blocks of fine stone, some as long as fifteen feet. Others were twelve feet long.

Bible Verse Review

another court: 2 Kings 20:4

an house: 1 Kings 3:1, 1 Kings 9:24, 2 Chronicles 8:11

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 4:18 - Bithiah Ecclesiastes 2:4 - I builded

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And his house where he dwelt,.... Which was properly his dwellingplace, that part of the house where he usually resided:

[had] another court within the porch, which [was] of the like work; a court between that and the porch, called the inner court, 2 Kings 20:4.

Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife; see 1 Kings 3:1,

like unto this porch: being built of the same sort of materials, though in a different form.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Like unto this porch - i. e., of similar materials, hewn stone and cedar. The zenana could not have been a mere portico.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 7:8. A house for Pharaoh's daughter — This appears to have been a third house; probably the whole three made but one building, and were in the same place, but distinguished from each other; the first as Solomon's palace, the second as a house of judgment, a court-house; the third, the harem, or apartments for the women.
