the whole house: It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building; but both must have been immense.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the whole house he overlaid with gold,.... Both the holy place, and the most holy place:

until he had finished all the house; in this splendid and glorious manner:

also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle; the altar of incense, which stood just before the entrance into the oracle, or most holy place:

he overlaid with gold; he overlaid it all over with gold; hence it is called the golden altar, and was an emblem of the excellent and effectual mediation and intercession of Christ, Revelation 8:3. Agreeably to this account Eupolemus, an Heathen writer d testifies, that the whole house, from the floor to the tool, was covered with gold, as well as with cedar and cypress wood, that the stonework might not appear; and so the capitol at Rome, perhaps in imitation of this temple, its roofs and tiles were glided with gold e; a magnificent temple, like this, was at Upsal in Switzerland, as Olaus Magnus relates f.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The lavish use of the precious metals in ornamentation was a special feature if early Oriental architecture. Recent researches have given reason to believe that two stages of the great temple at Borsippa - now known as the Bits Nimrud - had respectively a gold and a silver coating.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 6:22. The whole house he overlaid with gold — It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building.
