Commentary on 1 Kings 6:10

Theological / Devotional

Built chambers. The main Temple structure seems to have been completed first, followed by the chambers built against the house.

Five cubits. Since there were 3 stories, each 5 cu. high, the total height of the outside chamber structure was 15 cu. Inasmuch as the Temple itself had a height of 20 cu. there was a space of 5 cu. above the chambers for the windows (v. 4). These windows provided light and ventilation for the Temple.
