1 Kings 7:7

7:7 He also made a throne room, called “The Hall of Judgment,” where he made judicial decisions. ¹  It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the rafters. ² 

1 Kings 6:30

6:30 He plated the floor of the temple with gold, inside and out. ³ 

1 Kings 6:15

6:15 He constructed the walls inside the temple with cedar planks; he paneled the inside with wood from the floor of the temple to the rafters ⁴  of the ceiling. He covered the temple floor with boards made from the wood of evergreens.

[7:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”

[7:7]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqa’, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.

[6:30]  ³ sn Inside and out probably refers to the inner and outer rooms within the building.

[6:15]  ⁵ tc The MT reads קִירוֹת (qirot, “walls”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.
