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.)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VII

Solomon builds his own house, and completes it in thirteen

years, 1.

He builds another called the house of the forest of Lebanon;

and a house for Pharaoh's daughter, 2-12.

He brings Hiram, a coppersmith, out of Tyre, who makes much

curious work for the temple, 13-20.

He makes the two pillars Jachin and Boaz, 21, 22.

The molten sea, and the twelve oxen that bare it, 23-26.

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.

NOTES ON CHAP. VII

Verse 1 Kings 7:1. Building his own house — This house is said to have been situated in Jerusalem, and probably was, what some call it, his winter's residence. It is called the king's house, 1 Kings 9:10.
