1 Reis 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 Reis 7:2 In-Context

1 Salomão levou treze anos para terminar a construção do seu palácio.

2 Ele construiu o Palácio da Floresta do Líbano com quarenta e cinco metros de comprimento, vinte e dois metros e meio de largura e treze metros e meio de altura, sustentado por quatro fileiras de colunas de cedro sobre as quais apoiavam-se vigas de cedro aparelhadas.

3 O forro, de cedro, ficava sobre as quarenta e cinco vigas, quinze por fileira, que se apoiavam nas colunas.

4 Havia janelas dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra.

5 Todas as portas tinham estrutura retangular; ficavam na parte da frente, dispostas de três em três, uma em frente da outra.
