Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Chapter 7But Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years, and he finished all of his house ( 1 Kings 7:1 ).So it shows where his priorities began to turn. Seven years building the house of God, then turning around and for thirteen years building his own. But then it goes on and tells of the dimensions of the Solomon's house and the foundations of this costly, great stones; ten cubits, which would be fifteen feet, and eight cubits, which would be about twelve feet, so twelve to fifteen... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 7:1-51

1 Kings 7:1 . Solomon was thirteen years in building his own palace in Jerusalem, because fewer workmen were employed, many of whom were still engaged on the exterior parts of the temple. 1 Kings 7:2 . He built also the house (the palace) of the forest of Lebanon. A forest adjacent to Jerusalem, called so, as having some resemblance to Lebanon. 1 Kings 7:7 . He made a porch for the throne. In England, our courts were open in porches, as the old court in Durham. 1 Kings 7:9 . ... read more

1 Kings 7:1-12Solomon was building his own house thirteen years.Building God’s house and one’s ownA very curious thing this, that whilst Solomon was building the temple of God he was also building his own house. It does not follow that when a man is building his own house he is also building the temple of God; but it inevitably follows that when a man is deeply engaged in promoting the interests of the Divine sanctuary, he is most truly laying the foundations of his own house, and completing... read more

1 Kings 7:6And he made a porch of pillars.The porchSince this porch was the common place of reception for all worshippers, and the place also where they laid the beggars, it looks as if it were to be a type of the church’s bosom for charity. Here the proselytes were entertained, here the beggars were relieved, and received alms. These gates were seldom shut; and the houses of Christian compassion should be always open. This therefore beautified this gate, as charity beautifies any of the... read more

1 Kings 7:13-14King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.Hiram, the master builderI. Hiram was a born master builder. The influence of heredity needs no more signal illustration. He combines his mother’s heart and his father’s mind. Strange, that in a correspondence between Eastern kings of antiquity, with whom woman’s fame was of less than cypher value, Hiram’s mother should be mentioned at all; stranger still, that the premier place is given to her, implying that, while both parents... read more

1 Kings 7:22Upon the top the pillars was lily-work.Lily-work1. Strength. These pillars were deemed of such importance as to deserve a name, a name for each. The one was called Jachin, which means “He will establish”; and the other was called Boaz, which means “in strength.” The two ideas are near akin, and together express stable strength. Why these names were given we are not told; whether to indicate the magnitude and fixedness of the pillars, or the stability of the religion which was to be... read more

1 Kings 7:50Snuffers.Snuffers(Children’s service):--You smile at such a text, and no wonder! But snuffers were very useful in the temple; they kept the lights trim and bright.1. Now you see what snuffers are for; they are for making a dull light shine brighter. When the candle has been burning for some time it seems to get dull and drowsy, then “snap” go the snuffers, and the light gets bright! There are snuffers which do that for boys and girls, and men and women, too, for that matter. There... read more

1Ki 7:1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. Ver. 1. But Solomon was building his own house. ] Here he took greater leisure, and had less help, both for materials ready prepared, and for the people’s forwardness to help it on. Add hereunto, that in these thirteen years Solomon had three houses to build; sc., his own, the queen’s, and the house of the forest of Lebanon: which, because they stood near together, were called Solomon’s own house,... read more
