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 All the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

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.
