Cross-References
This is the history of Noah's family. He was a good man all his life, and he always followed God.
Then the Lord said to Noah, "I have seen that you are a good man, even among the evil people of this time. So gather your family, and all of you go into the boat.
Seven days from now, I will send much rain on the earth. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights, and I will wipe everything off the face of the earth. I will destroy everything I made."
Noah did everything the Lord told him to do.
Noah was 600 years old at the time the rains came.
He and his family went into the boat to be saved from the flood. His wife and his sons and their wives were on the boat with him.
All the clean animals, all the other animals on the earth, the birds, and everything that crawls on the earth
went into the boat with Noah. These animals went into the boat in groups of two, male and female, just as God commanded.
Seven days later the flood started. The rain began to fall on the earth.
On the 17th day of the second month, when Noah was 600 years old, the springs under the earth broke through the ground, and water flowed out everywhere. The sky also opened like windows and rain poured down. The rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. That same day Noah went into the boat with his wife, his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years,.... He made more haste with the house of God than with his own, for that was but seven years in building; which showed greater regard to the honour of God then to his own glory, or even convenience; nor was this built till after that:
and finished all his house; or houses he undertook to build, the singular for the plural; even the house of God, his own palace, and that for the daughter of Pharaoh, and that which is next mentioned, which were in all twenty years building, 1 Kings 9:10.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thirteen years - The thirteen years, i. e., counting from the end of the seven 1 Kings 6:38. Solomon’s buildings thus occupied him twenty years 1 Kings 9:10; 2 Chronicles 8:1, from the fourth year of his reign to the twenty-fourth. The difference in the time taken by the temple and the palace is to be accounted for,
(1) by the long period of preparation which preceded the actual building of the former 1 Chronicles 22:2-4; 1 Kings 5:13-18; and
(2) by the greater size of the palace, which consisted of several large ranges of buildings. (See the next note.)

And ten brazen bases, and the ten lavers with pots, shovels,
and basons, all of which he cast in the plain of Jordan, 27-46.
The quantity of brass too great to be weighed; and the vessels
of the temple were all of pure gold, 47-50.
Solomon brings into the house the silver and gold which his
father had dedicated, 51.
