1 Kings 6:8
Compare all
6 The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not be fastened into the walls of the1 temple.  
7 And athe temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.  
8 The doorway for the1 middle story was on the right side of the temple. They went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.  
9 aSo he built the1 temple and finished it, and he paneled the temple with beams and boards of cedar.  
10 And he built side chambers against the entire temple, each five cubits high; they were attached to the temple with cedar beams.

John Wesley's Notes
<< 1 Kings 6:7   1 Kings 6:9 >>


1 Kings 6:8

The door - That is, by which they entered to go up to the middle chamber or chambers; such as were in the middle story. Right side - That is, in the south - side, called the right side; because when a man looks towards the east, the south is on his right hand. There was another door on the left, or the north - side, leading to the chambers on that side. Winding stairs - Without the wall, leading up to the gallery out of which they went into the several chambers. Middle chamber - Or rather, into the middle story, or row of chambers; and so in the following words, out of the middle story: for these stair's could not lead up into each of the chambers; nor was it needful, but only into the story, which was sufficient for the use of all the chambers.
