9<\/strong>. So he built the house<\/em> ] i.e. The Temple building. The next verse speaks of the enclosing framework of chambers. What was now finished was the portion for divine service.<\/p>\n and covered the house<\/em> ] i.e. Made the roof for it. On this roof, see Fergusson, Temples of the Jews<\/em>, pp. 19 seqq., where the author shews that the covering of the Tabernacle was made with a ridge and sloped to both sides, and that the cedar beams and boards (R.V. planks<\/strong>) spoken of in this verse were to imitate, as nearly as could be done in wood, the Tabernacle roof. Mr Fergusson has suggested (p. 28) that there were most probably pillars inside the Temple to support the beams of the roof. ‘No cedar beams that were available could be laid across an opening 30 feet free without sagging to an unpleasant extent.’<\/p>\n He built the house, and finished it – <\/B>i. e., the external shell of the house. The internal fittings were added afterward. See 1Ki 6:15-22<\/span>.<\/P> Covered the house – <\/B>Roofed it with a wooden roof, sloped like our roofs.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 9<\/span>. Covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.<\/B><\/I>] The Eastern custom is very different from ours: we ceil<\/I> with plaster<\/I>, and make our floors<\/I> of wood<\/I>; they make their floors<\/I> of plaster<\/I> or painted tiles<\/I>, and make their ceilings<\/I> of wood<\/I>. But it may not be improper to observe that, in ancient times, our buildings were somewhat similar. Westminster Hall is a proof of this.<\/P> <\/p>\n He built the house, and finished it, <\/B>to wit, the bulk and the body of the house. <\/P> Covered the house, <\/B>or, the house<\/I> i.e. the top of the house, for the like is said of the sides and bottom, 1Ki 6:15<\/span>, even <\/P> the beams and boards, <\/B>( or, the vault-beams<\/I> <\/P> and the ceilings; <\/B>the arched beams and boards wherewith the top of the house was covered, which was made of other wood, which was more pliable than cedar, and would better endure bowing and bending,) <\/P> with cedars.<\/B> <\/P> <\/p>\n 9, 10. built the house<\/B>Thetemple is here distinguished from the wings or chambers attached toitand its roofing was of cedar-wood.<\/P><\/p>\n So he built the house, and finished it<\/strong>,…. The body of it, the walls of the holy and most holy place, with the chambers on the sides of them, and the porch at the end that led into them:<\/p>\n and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar<\/strong>; with hollow boards, as the Targum, which formed an arch ceiling to it, and made it look very grand and beautiful; and then over them were laid beams and planks of cedar, not properly as a flat roof to it, but rather as a flooring for other buildings; for upon this, as in 1Ki 6:10<\/span>, there were chambers built.<\/p>\n (9) And covered<\/strong>that is, roofed the house with a roof of cedar beams and boarding thereon. Some have supposed that he covered the outside walls with cedar, so that the whole should still look like a wooden tabernacle; but this is not necessarily implied, and is in itself unlikely.<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> Covered the house <\/strong> Made the roof, or covered with a roof, of beams and boards of cedar<\/strong>. On the durability of cedar roofs, see note on 1Ki 5:6<\/span>. The form or shape of the roof is left entirely uncertain. Many conclude, from the silence of the text, that, like Oriental buildings generally, its roof was flat. Others maintain, that, as it was modelled after the tabernacle, (compare Wisdom of Solomon, <\/em> chapter 1Ki 9:8<\/span>,) its roof was a gable, like that of an ordinary tent.<\/p>\n 1Ki 6:9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.<\/p>\n Ver. 9. So he built the house.<\/strong> ] Epilogus est praecedentium.<\/em> a<\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And boards of cedar.<\/strong> ] Which boards were also covered with lead without, and gold within. 1Ki 6:22 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Vatab.<\/p>\n he built: 1Ki 6:14, 1Ki 6:38 <\/p>\n with beams and boards of cedar: or, the vault beams and the ceilings with cedar <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 40:33 – So Moses 1Ki 5:6 – cedar trees<\/p>\n 1Ki 6:9-10. So he built the house, and finished it That is, the walls of the house. And then he built chambers There is nothing in the Hebrew for the word then, which being omitted, the sense is, that he here gives an account of the height of these chambers, as, 1Ki 6:6, he did of the breadth. But it is very briefly; and we are to understand that those below, and those in the middle, and those above, were all of an equal height, namely, five cubits. So they were fifteen cubits in all, which was five less than the height of the house, for that was twenty cubits; otherwise there would have been no room for the windows, which, it is probable, were above all these chambers, in the top of the house.<\/p>\n 6:9 So he built the {f} house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.<\/p>\n (f) In Exodus it is called the tabernacle, and the temple is here called the sanctuary and the oracle the most holy place.<\/p>\n So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar. 9.
