Commentary on 1 Kings 6:32

Theological / Devotional

Spread gold. At a later age Hezekiah “cut off the gold from the doors of the temple” and gave it to Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, who was then invading the land (2 Kings 18:16). From the earliest to the latest days of Assyrian history, the records tell of gates and doors of cedar covered chiefly with bronze, but also with silver and gold, and set up in temples or palaces. The famous Bronze Gates of Balawat, from the time of Shalmaneser III, are among the choicest treasures of the British Museum.
