1 Kings 6:2
"And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the house which King Solomon built for the Lord,.... For his worship, honour, and glory: the length thereof was threescore cubits; sixty cubits from east to west, including the holy place and

the most holy place; the holy place was forty cubits, and the most holy place twenty; the same measure, as to length, Eupolemus, an Heathen writer (n), gives of the temple, but is mistaken in the other measures: and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; from north to south: and the height thereof thirty cubits; this must be understood of the holy place, for the oracle or most holy place was but twenty cubits high, Kg1 6:20 ; though the holy place, with the chambers that were over it, which were ninety cubits, three stories high, was in all an hundred twenty cubits, Ch2 3:4 ; some restrain it to the porch only, which stood at the end, like one of our high steeples, as they think. (n) Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 34.
