Commentary on 1 Kings 6:4

Theological / Devotional

Windows of narrow lights. Hebrew scholars are still not clear concerning the exact meaning of this passage. Many believe windows with fixed lattices to be intended. Others believe the marginal reading to be correct, “windows broad within, and narrow without.” Windows of such a type would externally be mere slits in the wall, but would open wide within, like the windows of ancient castles. The windows were placed high in the walls and above the chambers described in vs. 5-8.
