1 Kings 6:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:29

And he carved all the walls of the house about with carved
figures of cherubim, and palm trees, and open flowers
That is, of palm trees, those in full blow: if the cherubim are an emblem of angels, the palm trees fitly enough represent just and upright men, who both appear in the church of God below, and in heaven above; in both which are to be seen the open and full-blown flowers of divine grace, especially in the latter state:

within and without;
on the walls of the most holy place, both within and without; and so upon the walls of the holy place, in each of which were these sculptures, which were very ornamental, and were emblematical; see ( Ezekiel 41:17-20 ) .
