1 Kings 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:7

Then he made a porch for the throne
The ivory throne on which he sat to hear and try causes, ( 1 Kings 10:18 ) ,

where he might judge, even the porch of judgment:
which had its name from thence; this was either in his house in the forest of Lebanon, or in his palace at Jerusalem; the former seems best:

and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor unto the
other;
that is, the whole floor.

1 Kings 7:7 In-Context

5 And all the doors and posts were square, with some windows opposite the other windows in three orders.

6 And he made a porch of pillars, which was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and the porch was before those others, with its corresponding pillars and thick beams.

7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of like work. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

9 All these works were of costly stones, cut and sawed with saws according to the measurements, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.
