1 Reyes 7:2

2 Edificó la casa del bosque del Líbano, de cien codos de largo, cincuenta codos de ancho y treinta codos de alto, sobre cuatro hileras de columnas de cedro con vigas de cedro sobre las columnas.

1 Reyes 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:2

He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon
Besides the temple, his own palace, and the queen's; so called, not because it was built on Mount Lebanon, which lay at the northern border of the land, at a great distance from Jerusalem, whereas this was both a magazine of arms, and a court of judicature, ( 1 Kings 7:7 ) ; see ( 1 Kings 10:17 ) ( Isaiah 22:8 ) ; neither of which can be supposed to be far from Jerusalem; but because not only it was built of the cedars of Lebanon, but in a situation, and among groves of trees which resembled it; it seems to have been a summer house; and so the Targum calls it, a royal house of refreshment:

the length thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof
fifty and the height thereof thirty cubits;
so that it was in every measure larger than the temple; and, there was good reason for it, since into that only the priests entered; whereas into this went not only Solomon's family but his courtiers and nobles, and all foreign ambassadors, and whoever had any business with him, which required various rooms to receive them in:

upon four rows of cedar pillars;
or piazzas:

with cedar beams upon the pillars;
which laid the floor for the second story.

1 Reyes 7:2 In-Context

1 Salomón edificó su propia casa, y en trece años la terminó toda.
2 Edificó la casa del bosque del Líbano, de cien codos de largo, cincuenta codos de ancho y treinta codos de alto, sobre cuatro hileras de columnas de cedro con vigas de cedro sobre las columnas.
3 Estaba cubierta de cedro sobre las cámaras laterales que estaban sobre las cuarenta y cinco columnas, quince en cada hilera.
4 Y había tres hileras de ventanas con celosías, una ventana frente a la otra en tres filas.
5 Todas las puertas y los postes tenían marcos cuadrados, una ventana frente a la otra en tres filas.
