1 Kings 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.

6 Then he made the hall of pillars; its length was 50 cubits and its width 30 cubits, and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them.

7 He made the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

8 His house where he was to live, the other court inward from the hall, was of the same workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had married.

9 All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside ; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

10 The foundation was of costly stones, even large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.
