1 Kings 6:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:15

And he built the walls of the house within with boards of
cedar
For as yet he had only built the stone walls of it without, but now he wainscotted it with cedar boards: and not only them, but

both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling;
or from "the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling"; that is, from the floor, including that, to the walls on each side, reaching up to the ceiling,

he covered [them] on the inside with wood:
of one sort or another, cedar or fir, or both: particularly he

covered the floor of the house with planks of fir:
which Hiram sent him, ( 1 Kings 5:8 1 Kings 5:10 ) ; which is differently interpreted; by Josephus cypress; by others, as the Tigurine version, pine tree wood; it is very probable it was of the cedar kind, and not the floor only, but the ceiling also, ( 2 Chronicles 3:5 ) .

1 Kings 6:15 In-Context

13 I will live among my people Israel in this Temple that you are building, and I will never abandon them."

14 So Solomon finished building the Temple.

15 The inside walls were covered with cedar panels from the floor to the ceiling, and the floor was made of pine.

16 An inner room, called the Most Holy Place, was built in the rear of the Temple. It was 30 feet long and was partitioned off by cedar boards reaching from the floor to the ceiling.

17 The room in front of the Most Holy Place was 60 feet long.
