1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
The building of Solomon’s temple.
The temple is called the house of the Lord, because it was directed and modeled by him, and was to be employed in his service. This gave it the beauty of holiness, that it was the house of the Lord, which was far beyond all other beauties. It was to be the temple of the God of peace, therefore no iron tool must be heard; quietness and silence suit and help religious exercises. God’s work should be done with much care and little noise. Clamor and violence often hinder, but never further the work of God. Thus the kingdom of God in the heart of man grows up in silence, [Mark 5:27].

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Christ knocks with his hand that you may open, whereas the adversary cuts the door down with axes; and therefore it is written that hammer and axe should not enter into the house of God. Pride and deceit ought to be outdoors, not inside; conflicts indeed ought to be outside; but within, the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let not your soul be cut with the iron, but even as Joseph’s soul, so may your soul pass by the iron. Otherwise, your ruling part, which is like a kind of tabernacle of the Word, may be destroyed at the very beginning of faith and the entrance into spiritual learning. - "The Prayer of Job and David 4.7.28"

1. Christ is the true Temple. In him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead; in him meet all God’s spiritual Israel; through him we have access with confidence to God.
2. Every believer is a living temple, in whom the Spirit of God dwells, [1Cor 3:16]. This living temple is built upon Christ as its Foundation, and will be perfect in due time.
3. The gospel church is the mystical temple. It grows to a holy temple in the Lord, enriched and beautified with the gifts and graces of the Spirit. This temple is built firm, upon a Rock.
4. Heaven is the everlasting temple. There the church will be fixed. All that shall be stones in that building, must, in the present state of preparation, be fitted and made ready for it. Let sinners come to Jesus as the living Foundation, that they may be built on him, a part of this spiritual house, consecrated in body and soul to the glory of God.

15And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.16And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].17And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].18And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.19And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.20And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar.21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.23And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive tree, [each] ten cubits high.24And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.25And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.26The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.31And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].32The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.33So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].34And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were] folding.35And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:38And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

3. The gospel church is the mystical temple. It grows to a holy temple in the Lord, enriched and beautified with the gifts and graces of the Spirit. This temple is built firm, upon a Rock.
4. Heaven is the everlasting temple. There the church will be fixed. All that shall be stones in that building, must, in the present state of preparation, be fitted and made ready for it. Let sinners come to Jesus as the living Foundation, that they may be built on him, a part of this spiritual house, consecrated in body and soul to the glory of God.

15And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.16And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].17And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].18And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.19And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.20And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar.21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.23And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive tree, [each] ten cubits high.24And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.25And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.26The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.31And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].32The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.33So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].34And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were] folding.35And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:38And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

15And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.16And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].17And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].18And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.19And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.20And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar.21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.23And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive tree, [each] ten cubits high.24And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.25And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.26The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.31And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].32The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.33So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].34And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were] folding.35And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:38And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

Here it is indicated that there were four symbols of cherubim, palm trees, narcissus and lilies, which we said represent the saints praying in the temple and contemplating divine things. And these same saints were foreshadowed with a similar sense by Moses, even though he used different symbols, when he distributed the tribes of his people in four groups to the four regions of the world, so that they might all live around the tabernacle. Indeed, the tabernacle represented the person of God, whom he wanted them to contemplate and to observe constantly. - "On the First Book of Kings 6.29"

15And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.16And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].17And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].18And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.19And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.20And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar.21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.23And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive tree, [each] ten cubits high.24And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.25And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.26The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.31And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].32The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.33So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].34And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were] folding.35And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:38And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
