1 Kings 6:9

6:9 He finished building the temple ¹  and covered it ²  with rafters ³  and boards made of cedar. ⁴ 

1 Kings 6:38

6:38 In the eleventh year, in the month Bul ⁵  (the eighth month) the temple was completed in accordance with all its specifications and blueprints. It took seven years to build. ⁶ 

Acts 7:47-48

7:47 But Solomon built a house ⁷  for him. 7:48 Yet the Most High ⁸  does not live in houses made by human hands, ⁹  as the prophet says,

[6:9]  ¹ tn Heb “ built the house and completed it.”

[6:9]  ² tn Heb “the house.”

[6:9]  ³ tn The word occurs only here; the precise meaning is uncertain.

[6:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “and rows with cedar wood.”

[6:38]  ⁵ sn In the month Bul. This would be October-November 959 b.c. in modern reckoning.

[6:38]  ⁶ tn Heb “he built it in seven years.”

[7:47]  ⁷ sn See 1 Kgs 8:1-21.

[7:48]  ⁸ sn The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).

[7:48]  ⁹ sn The phrase made by human hands is negative in the NT: Mark 14:58; Acts 17:24; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, 24. It suggests “man-made” or “impermanent.” The rebuke is like parts of the Hebrew scripture where the rebuke is not of the temple, but for making too much of it (1 Kgs 8:27; Isa 57:15; 1 Chr 6:8; Jer 7:1-34).
