1 Kings 6:10
Ver. 10. And [then] he built chambers against all the house five cubits high,.... Which some understand of the same chambers in 1Ki 6:5; here made mention of again for the sake of giving the height of them, not before given; but they were built against, or upon the wall of the house, these against, or rather upon the whole house itself; and are the chambers referred to, See Gill on "1Ki 6:2"; which consisting of three stories of ninety cubits, raised the whole house to an equal height with the porch, 2Ch 3:4; as is there intended {x}; these are the upper chambers in 2Ch 3:9; and they rested on the house [with] timber of cedar; or on the timber of cedar, the beams of cedar, with which the house was covered, as in 1Ki 6:9; on these the chambers rested, being built upon them; and in one of these chambers the disciples might be after Christ's ascension, Ac 1:13.
