Melachim Alef 6:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:31

And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive
tree
The door of the holy of holies was a two leaved or folding door, made of olive wood; typical of Christ, the door into the church above and below, the way to heaven and eternal life, the true olive tree:

the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall];
four cubits, twenty cubits being the breadth of the oracle; or the lintel was four cubits, twenty being the height of it also, ( 1 Kings 6:20 ) .

Melachim Alef 6:31 In-Context

29 And he carved all the walls of the Beis [Hamikdash] round about with carved figures of keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 And the floor of the Beis [Hamikdash] he overlaid with zahav (gold), within and without.
31 And for the entering of the Devir he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and the five-sided door posts.
32 The two doors also were of olive wood; and he carved upon them carvings of keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with zahav, and spread zahav upon the keruvim, and upon the palm trees.
33 So also made he for the entrance of the Heikhal foursided door posts of olive wood.
