Contextual Overview
1 King Solomon also built a palace for himself. It took 13 years to build Solomon's palace. 2 He also built the building called the "Forest of Lebanon." It was 100 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. It had four rows of cedar columns. On top of each column was a cedar capital. 3 There were cedar beams going across the rows of columns. There were 15 beams for each section of columns, making a total of 45 beams. On top of these beams there were cedar boards for the ceiling. 4 There were three rows of windows across from each other on the side walls. 5 There were three doors at each end. All the door openings and frames were square. 6 Solomon also built the Porch of Columns. It was 50 cubits long and 30 cubits wide. Along the front of the porch, there was a covering supported by columns. 7 He also built a throne room where he judged people. He called this the Judgment Hall. The room was covered with cedar from floor to ceiling. 8 Behind the Judgment Hall was a courtyard. The palace where Solomon lived was built around that courtyard and looked like the Judgment Hall. He also built the same kind of palace for his wife, the daughter of the king of Egypt. 9 All these buildings were made with expensive blocks of stone. The stones were cut to the right size with a saw and then smoothed on front and back. These expensive stones went from the foundation all the way up to the top layer of the wall. Even the wall around the yard was made with expensive blocks of stone. 10 The foundations were made with large, expensive stones. Some of the stones were 10 cubits long and the others were 8 cubits long.

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.
