1 Reyes 7:12

And the great court round about ,.... Which surrounded Solomon's house:

was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams ; these rows were one upon another, and were a wall to the court, which were either topped with a row of cedar wood, or that was a lining to the stones

for the inner court of the house of the Lord ; or rather as, or like to that, as appears from 1 Kings 6:36 ,

and for the porch of the house ; not the temple, but Solomon's house.
