Melachim Alef 7:8

8 And his Bais (palace) where he dwelt which was in another khatzer (courtyard) inwards from the Ulam [HaKisse], was similar in workmanship. Sh’lomo made also a Bais for Bat Pharaoh, whom he had taken as isha, and the Bais (palace) he made was like this Ulam.

Melachim Alef 7:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:8

And his house where he dwelt
Which was properly his dwellingplace, that part of the house where he usually resided:

[had] another court within the porch, which [was] of the like work;
a court between that and the porch, called the inner court, ( 2 Kings 20:4 ) .

Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to
wife;
see ( 1 Kings 3:1 ) ,

like unto this porch:
being built of the same sort of materials, though in a different form.

Melachim Alef 7:8 In-Context

6 And he made Ulam HaAmmudim (Hall of Pillars); the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the width thereof thirty cubits: and the ulam (portico) was in front of them [i.e., the petachim]; and the other ammudim [for the portico roof] with the thick beam were before them.

7 Then he made Ulam HaKisse where he would judge, even the Ulam HaMishpat; and it was covered with erez (cedar) from floor to floor [i.e., covering the entire floor].

8 And his Bais (palace) where he dwelt which was in another khatzer (courtyard) inwards from the Ulam [HaKisse], was similar in workmanship. Sh’lomo made also a Bais for Bat Pharaoh, whom he had taken as isha, and the Bais (palace) he made was like this Ulam.

9 All these were of expensive stone, according to the measure of hewed stones, filed with files, outside and inside, even from the foundation unto the ceiling, and from without to the Khatzer HaGedolah (the Great Court).

10 And the foundation was laid with expensive stones, even avanim gedolot, stones of 10 cubits, and stones of 8 cubits.
