Contextual Overview
1 And Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and brought it to perfection. 2 He built also the house of the forest of Libanus; the length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits, and the height thirty cubits: and four galleries between pillars of cedar: for he had cut cedar trees into pillars. 3 And he covered the whole vault with boards of cedar, and it was held up with five and forty pillars. And one row had fifteen pillars, 4 Set one against another, 5 And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in all things equal. 6 And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch, and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars. 7 He made also the porch of the throne wherein is the seat of judgment; and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top. 8 And in the midst of the porch, was a small house, where he sat in judgment of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch; 9 All of costly stones, which were sawed by a certain rule and measure, both within and without: from the foundation to the top of the walls, and without, unto the great court. 10 And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or 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.
