David.He gave him an ichnograph of the building, with elevations, sections and specifications of every part; and all this he himself received by inspiration from God himself, (ver. 12, 19,) just as Moses had received the plan of the tabernacle. the pattern.19; Ex 25:40; 26:30; 39:42,43; 2Ch 3:3; Eze 43:10,11; Heb 8:5the porch.1Ki 6:3; 2Ch 3:4; Eze 40:8,9,15,48,49the houses.1Ki 6:16-20; 2Ch 3:5-10; Eze 41:13-17; Heb 9:2-8the treasuries.[gnzkyw,] {ganzakkaiv:} the word [gnzk,] {ganzach,} is supposed to be not Hebrew, but Persian; in which language we have [gng,] {ganj,} a granary, a hidden treasure, and [gngwr,] {gunjoor,} and [gngynh,] {gunjineh,} a treasure, treasury, or barn. It may, however, be a Chaldee form of the Hebrew [gnz,] {genez,} (from [gnz,] {genaz,} to treasure up;) the [k] being merely formative, as in [dk,] {dech,} ['lk,] {illaich,} and other Chaldee words. 9:26-29; 26:20-27; Lu 21:1upper chambers.1Ki 6:5,6,10; 2Ch 3:9; Ne 10:38,39; 13:5; Jer 35:2; Eze 41:6-11the place.Ex 25:17-22; 40:20,21; 1Ki 6:19; 2Ch 5:7; Heb 9:52 Chronicles 3:4
the porch.Joh 10:23; Ac 3:11; 5:12an 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.2 Chronicles 29:7
Those, says Matthew Henry, who turn their backs upon God's ordinances, may truly be said to forsake God himself. The lamps were not lighted, and incense was not burnt: there are still such neglects as these, and they are no less culpable, if the Word be not duly read and opened, answering to the lighting of the lamps, and if prayers and praises be not duly offered up, which was signified by the burning of incense. 3; 28:24; Le 24:2-8; 2Ki 16:17,18; Mal 1:10
