and cedars; beams of cedars over them, or these, both the foundation and the walls, were lined with them.

Wesley's Notes

7:11 Above - That is, in the upper part; for this is opposed to the foundation. Stones and cedars - Intermixed the one, and the other.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:1-12 All Solomon's buildings, though beautiful, were intended for use. Solomon began with the temple; he built for God first, and then his other buildings. The surest foundations of lasting prosperity are laid in early piety. He was thirteen years building his house, yet he built the temple in little more than seven years; not that he was more exact, but less eager in building his own house, than in building God's. We ought to prefer God's honour before our own ease and satisfaction.


1 Kings 7:10 The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits and some eight.
1 Kings 7:12 The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the LORD with its portico.
