Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

As, in the story of David, one chapter of wars and victories follows another, so, in the story of Solomon, one chapter concerning his buildings follows another. In this chapter we have, I. His fitting up several buildings for himself and his own use, 1Ki 7:1-12. II. His furnishing the temple which he had built for God, 1. With two pillars, 1Ki 7:13-22. 2. With a molten sea, 1Ki 7:23-26. 3. With ten basins of brass (1Ki 7:27-37), and ten layers upon them, 1Ki 7:38,39. 4. With all the other utensils of the temple, 1Ki 7:40-50. 5. With the things that his father had dedicated, 1Ki 7:51. The particular description of these things was not needless when it was written, nor is it now useless.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

1 Kings 7 Introduction

Translated Open passage

Solomon builds his own house, and completes it in thirteen years, 1 Kings 7:1. He builds another called the house of the forest of Lebanon; and a house for Pharaoh's daughter, 1 Kings 7:2-12. He brings Hiram, a coppersmith, out of Tyre, who makes much curious work for the temple, 1 Kings 7:13-20. He makes the two pillars Jachin and Boaz, 1 Kings 7:21, 1 Kings 7:22. The molten sea, and the twelve oxen that bare it, 1 Kings 7:23-26. And ten brazen bases, and the ten lavers with pots, shovels, and basons, all of which he cast in the plain of Jordan, vv. 27-46. The quantity of brass too great to be weighed; and the vessels of the temple were all of pure gold, 1 Kings 7:47-50. Solomon brings into the house the silver and gold which his father had dedicated, 1 Kings 7:51.

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

1 Kings 7 Introduction

Translated Open passage

INTRODUCTION TO 1 Kings 7

This chapter gives an account of some buildings of Solomon for himself, 1 Kings 7:1; and of other things for the use of the temple; of two pillars of brass, 1 Kings 7:13; of the molten sea, 1 Kings 7:23; and of ten bases, and ten layers on them, 1 Kings 7:27; with other utensils and ornaments, 1 Kings 7:40.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

1 Kings 7 Introduction

Translated Open passage

VII.

The first section of this chapter (1Kings 7:1-12) describes briefly, but with some technical details (not always easy of interpretation), the building of the royal palace, including in this the hall of state, or “the house of the forest of Lebanon,” with its porch (1Kings 7:2-6), the hall (or porch) of judgment (1Kings 7:7), the royal residence, and the residence of the queen (1Kings 7:8). These must have constituted a large group of buildings enclosed in a great court, situate on the Western Hill (“the city of David”), which is opposite the Temple on Mount Moriah, with a viaduct crossing the intervening valley (ordinarily called the Tyropæon), by which the king went up to the House of the Lord (see 1Kings 10:5; 1Chronicles 26:16; 2Chronicles 9:4). Josephus (Antt. viii., 1 Kings 5) supplies a few additional details, but his account is rather vague and rhetorical.

The house of the forest of Lebanon—evidently so called from the forest of cedar pillars which supported it—was apparently a great hall of audience, 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high; along it ran longitudinally rows of pillars, supporting cedar beams and walls over them, and cedar roofs. In 1Kings 7:2 it is said that there were “four rows of pillars,” and yet in 1Kings 7:3 that the cedar beams rested on “forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.” The difficulty thus created, of course vanishes if we are content to accept the LXX. reading, which has in 1Kings 7:2 “three rows” instead of “four.” But this is probably a correction made to avoid the apparent contradiction, and gives no explanation of the origin of the curious reading of the Hebrew text. It is, perhaps, a better explanation of the passage to suppose that one row of pillars was built into the side wall, so that only three would bear the cedar beams. Josephus says that the hall was built after “the Corinthian manner,” that is (see Dict. of the Bible, PALACE), with a clerestory. In this case it would be not unlike a Basilica, having a higher central aisle between two rows of pillars, with a wall and windows above each, and two lower sides, or aisles, in one of which the side row of pillars was built into the wall, in the other standing clear of the wall. It is clear from 1Kings 7:4-5, that there were three rows of windows, one, perhaps, in the clerestory, and two in the side walls.

1Ki 7:1.

Translated Open passage

1Ki 7:1.

BUILDING OF SOLOMON'S HOUSE.

1. Solomon was building his own house thirteen years--The time occupied in building his palace was nearly double that spent in the erection of the temple

[1Ki 6:38],

because neither had there been the same previous preparations for it, nor was there the same urgency as in providing a place of worship, on which the national well-being so much depended.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

1 Kings 7:1

Translated Open passage

Thirteen years - The thirteen years, i. e., counting from the end of the seven 1 Kings 6:38. Solomon's buildings thus occupied him twenty years 1 Kings 9:10; 2 Chronicles 8:1, from the fourth year of his reign to the twenty-fourth. The difference in the time taken by the temple and the palace is to be accounted for,

(1) by the long period of preparation which preceded the actual building of the former 1 Chronicles 22:2-4; 1 Kings 5:13-18; and

(2) by the greater size of the palace, which consisted of several large ranges of buildings. (See the next note.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

1 Kings 7:1

Translated Open passage

Building his own house - This house is said to have been situated in Jerusalem, and probably was, what some call it, his winter's residence. It is called the king's house, 1 Kings 9:10.

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

1 Kings 7:1

Translated Open passage

But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years,.... He made more haste with the house of God than with his own, for that was but seven years in building; which showed greater regard to the honour of God then to his own glory, or even convenience; nor was this built till after that:

and finished all his house; or houses he undertook to build, the singular for the plural; even the house of God, his own palace, and that for the daughter of Pharaoh, and that which is next mentioned, which were in all twenty years building, 1 Kings 9:10.
