14 The vail and pillars.
VERSE 1
- A.M. 2993. B.C. 1011. An. Ex. Is. 480. Solomon.
* 1Ki 6:1-14
- in mount Moriah.
* Ge 22:2,14
- where the Lord appeared unto David. or, which was seen of
David. Ornan.
* 2Sa 24:18-25
- Araunah.
* 1Ch 21:18; 22:1
VERSE 2
- in the second.
* 1Ki 6:1
VERSE 3
- A.M. 2993-3000. B.C. 1011-1004. Solomon.
* 1Ch 28:11-19
- instructed. Heb. founded. The length.
* 1Ki 6:2,3
- the first measure.
It is supposed, with much probability, that the first measure
means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished
from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after
their return from captivity: and, as these Books were written
after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make
this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement
was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth
shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile
some variations in the historical books, with respect to
numbers when applied to measures.
VERSE 4
- the porch.
* Joh 10:23 Ac 3:11; 5:12
- an hundred and twenty.
As the height of the temple was only thirty cubits, 120 seems
too great a height for the porch; but the Syriac, Arabic, and
the LXX. in the codex Alexandrinus, have only twenty, probably
reading, instead of {maiah weesrim,} "one hundred and twenty,"
{ammoth esrim,} "twenty cubits;" which brings it within the
proportion of the other measures.
VERSE 5
- the greater.
* 1Ki 6:15-17,21,22
VERSE 6
- garnished. Heb. covered. precious.
* 1Ch 29:2,8 Isa 54:11,12 Re 21:18-21
- Parvaim.
Parvaim is supposed by Calmet to be the same as Sepharvaim in
Armenia or Media; Bochart is of opinion that it is Taprobanes,
now the island of Ceylon, which he drives from {taph,} a
border, and Parvan, i.e., "the coast of Parvan;" but the late
Editor of Calmet thinks it the same as the Parvatoi mountains
of Ptolemy, at the head of the Indus.
VERSE 7

* Ac 4:24; 14:15 Col 1:16,17 Re 4:11; 10:6
- endued, etc. Heb. knowing prudence and understanding.
* 2Ch 1:10-12
- an house.
* :1
VERSE 13
- inward. or, toward the house.

- wrought. Heb. caused to ascend.
VERSE 15
- two pillars.
* 1Ki 7:15-24 Jer 52:20-23
- thirty.
The Syriac and Arabic have, agreeably to the parallel passage,
"eighteen cubits high;" but the Septuagint, Chaldee, and
Vulgate have "thirty and five cubits high." See the Note on 1
Ki 15 7:15.
