Contextual Overview
1 And Solomon built his own house for thirteen years. And he finished all his house. 2 And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon. Its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar above, on the sides that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4 And windows were in three rows, and light was against light in three rows. 5 And all the doors and the side posts were square along with the windows; and the front of a window was against a window in three rows. 6 And he made the porch of the pillars, its length fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits. And the porch was before them; and the pillars and the roof were over them. 7 And he made the porch of the throne where he judged, the porch of judgment. And it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. 8 As to his house where he lived, the other court was within the porch, as this work was. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken, like this porch. 9 And these were of costly stones according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with a saw, inside and out, even from the foundation to the coping, and from the outside, to the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, huge stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And there were windows in three rows,.... Both in the second and third stories, east, north, and south, there being none in the west, where the porch stood:
and light was against light in three ranks; or the windows, through which light was let, answered to each other.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Either three ranges of windows, one above the other, on either side of the house; or perhaps the three ranges were one in either side wall, and the third in a wall down the middle of the hall, along the course of the midmost row of pillars. The windows were directly opposite one another, giving what we call a through light.
