Il grande cortile aveva tuttintorno tre ordini di pietre squadrate e un ordine di travi di cedro, come il cortile interno della casa dellEterno e come il portico del tempio.
Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
Similmente il cortile grande d’ogn’intorno era a tre solai di pietre pulite, ed un solaio di travi di cedro; come il cortile di dentro della Casa del Signore, e il portico della Casa.

Bible Verse Review

three rows: 1 Kings 6:36

the porch: John 10:23, Acts 3:11, Acts 5:12

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 7:21 - the porch 2 Kings 21:5 - in the two courts 2 Chronicles 4:9 - the court 2 Chronicles 6:13 - the court Ezekiel 8:7 - General

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the great court round about,.... Which surrounded Solomon's house:

[was] with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams; these rows were one upon another, and were a wall to the court, which were either topped with a row of cedar wood, or that was a lining to the stones

for the inner court of the house of the Lord; or rather as, or like to that, as appears from 1 Kings 6:36,

and for the porch of the house; not the temple, but Solomon's house.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The palace, like the temple, had two courts 1 Kings 6:36, not, however, one immediately within the other. The lesser court of the palace seems to have been a private inner court among the buildings 1 Kings 7:8. The greater court was outside all the buildings, surrounding the palace on every side. Assyrian palaces had always such an external court, and had generally one or more inner courts or quadrangles.

Both for the inner court - By a slight alteration of the text, the meaning would be “as (was done) in the inner court, etc. and in the porch.”
