Context — The Chambers
3The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits long, extending across the width of the temple and projecting out ten cubits in front of the temple.
4He also had narrow windows framed high in the temple.
5Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms.
6The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls. 7The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.Cross References

1 Kings 6:5 Summary
In 1 Kings 6:5, we see that Solomon built a special structure around the temple with many rooms. This was to help the temple work well and have enough space for everything. It's like when we organize our own homes and spaces to make them useful and comfortable. Just as Solomon wanted to honor God with a well-built temple, we can honor God by being careful and thoughtful in our own work and daily lives, just like it says in Colossians 3:23-24. By doing so, we can create spaces and lives that bring glory to God.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the purpose of the chambered structure around the temple in 1 Kings 6:5?
The chambered structure, also known as side rooms, was built to provide additional space for various temple activities and storage, as seen in Ezekiel 40:17 and 1 Kings 6:6. This design helped to maintain the temple's functionality and organization.
How did the side rooms relate to the inner sanctuary?
The side rooms were constructed against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, indicating a close connection between these areas, much like the relationship between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place in Exodus 26:33-34.
What can we learn from the construction of the temple's side rooms?
The careful planning and construction of the side rooms demonstrate Solomon's attention to detail and commitment to building a temple that would honor God, as commanded in 1 Chronicles 28:11-12. This example encourages us to approach our own work and worship with similar dedication and reverence.
How does the description of the temple's architecture in 1 Kings 6:5 relate to the rest of the Bible?
The temple's design and construction are rooted in the instructions given to Moses in Exodus 25-31 and are later referenced in the prophetic books, such as Ezekiel 40-48, highlighting the continuity and unity of God's plan throughout Scripture.
Reflection Questions
- What does the construction of the side rooms reveal about Solomon's priorities and values?
- How can we apply the principle of careful planning and attention to detail in our own lives and ministry?
- What role do you think the side rooms played in the spiritual and practical life of the temple, and what can we learn from this?
- In what ways can we, like Solomon, use our talents and resources to build something that honors God and serves His people?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Kings 6:5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about,.... Or near it, as Jarchi interprets it, for the beams of them were not fastened in in it, 1 Kings 6:6; or rather "upon" it (p); and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 6:5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about: Against the wall
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:5
Against the wall; or, upon it; or, joining to it; for the beams of the chambers were not fastened into the wall, but leaned upon the buttresses of the wall. He built chambers, for the laying the priests’ garments and other utensils belonging to the temple, or to the worship of God, therein: see ,14. Round about; not simply, for there were none on the, east side; and it may seem that there were some spaces left for the windows, which being narrow outwardly, little spaces would suffice; but in a manner, i.e. on all the sides except the east, where the porch was, and except some very small passages for the light. And yet these lights might be in the five uppermost cubits of the wall, which were above all these chambers; for these were only fifteen cubits high, and the wall was twenty cubits high. He made chambers, Heb. ribs, i.e. either other chambers above and besides the former; or rather, long galleries, which encompassed all the chambers, as the ribs do man’ s body; and which were necessary for passage to all the several chambers.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:5
1 Kings 6:5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, [against] the walls of the house round about, [both] of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:Ver. 5. He built chambers round about.] Against all the parts of the temple, but only the entrance, which was at the east end. Of these chambers, or galleries, there were three stories, five cubits high, for the use of the priests that served at the altar.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:5
(5-10) The general meaning of these verses is clear, though some of the words are doubtful. Round three sides of the Temple was built a kind of aisle, opening, however, outwards and not into the Temple, having three storeys of low chambers (each only five cubits high), so arranged that the beams of their roofs were supported on rests on the outside of the wall (each rest being a cubit wide), leaving the wall itself intact. Thus the chambers of the lowest storey were narrowest—five cubits broad; the second storey six cubits, and the highest storey seven cubits broad. The higher storeys (see 1 Kings 6:8), in which the chambers no doubt opened into one another, were approached by a staircase, having an external entrance on the right side of the building; the chambers of the lowest storey probably had external doors of their own. Above the highest storey were still five cubits of wall, which would give room for the windows (like clerestory windows) previously mentioned. Nothing is said of the use of these chambers; but they would be, no doubt, for residence of the priests, stores for the Temple, and furniture. The word rendered “chambers” in the former part of 1 Kings 6:5 is a singular noun, signifying the whole of this aisle or side building; the “chambers” in the latter part of the verse—properly, “side pieces.” or “ribs denote the separate apartments, or perhaps each of the storeys of the building.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 6:5
5. And against the wall of the house he built chambers] The A. V. points out by its margin that the word here translated ‘chambers’ is not the same as that so rendered in the latter part of the verse. For the former it gives ‘floors’ as an alternative, for the latter ‘ribs.’ The first seems to embrace the whole structure and the latter to describe single rows of the same. What Solomon erected was three stories (as given by R.V.) of small chambers running all round two sides and one end of the Temple. The floors of these were supported on the stone work of the main building in the way described in the next verse, but were not let into the Temple-building. That wall was intact. The R.V. gives he built stories round about. Of this environment of chambers the Chronicler makes no mention. both of the temple and of the oracle] i.e. Of the holy place and of the most holy place.
The whole erection was enclosed on three sides in a casework of chambers. and he made chambers round about] The R.V. has side chambers. This word seems to refer to the several floors one above another which formed this casework of chambers. There were three stories, each five cubits high. The Scripture record does not tell us into how many chambers each floor was divided. Josephus says there were thirty in all, he also states that they were reached by going through one to another, καὶτὰςεἰσόδουςαὐτοῖςδιʼ ? ἀλλήλωνκατεσκεύασεν.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Kings 6:5
Chambers - (Margin, floors). Rather, a lean-to, which completely surrounded three sides of the building, the north, the west, and the south.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:5
5. Against the wall — On the outside of the main building, as the sequel shows, and built up against it, as a lateral building, or lean-to.
