Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:1-38

Chapter 6So in chapter six he began to build the temple.In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the second month, they began the building of the temple.

1 Kings 6:1-14He began to build the house of the Lord.The temple builtSolomon’s temple is the most wonderful and interesting building in the world’s history. It was “the mysterious centre of Israel.” It was far more to Israel than the Vatican is to Rome. It was, so long as it stood, God’s only earthly palace and temple.

1 Kings 6:6The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad.Enlargement upwardsAs the temple was highest, so it enlarged itself still upward; for as it ascended in height, so it still was wider and wider; even from the lowest chambers to the top.

6. The nethermost chamber That is, the lower story of the wing, containing the first floor of side-chambers. Five… six… seven cubits broad So, as in Ezekiel’s temple, there was an enlarging of these side-chambers upward, (Ezekiel 41:7,) so that those of the upper story were two cubits broader than those of the nethermost. This was caused, as is immediately stated, by the narrowed rests, or rebatements, ( מגרעות , used only here,) which he built around three sides of the house outside... read more
