1 Kings 6:21
"So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold,.... The inside of the holy of holies with fine gold, which gold amounted to six hundred talents, Ch2 3:8 ; and these

to 7,332,000 ducats of gold, or 3,045,000 pounds sterling: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; between the holy and the most holy, and were instead of a vail in the tabernacle of Moses between them; here was also a vail beside the partition made by chains of gold across the oracle; for the partition was a wall of the thickness of a cubit, as Maimonides (b) says; and in Ch2 3:14 express mention is made of a vail of blue, &c. and in imitation of this had the Heathens their deities within vails (c): and he overlaid it with gold; the partition wall. (b) Hilchot Beth Habechirah, c. 4. sect. 2. (c) Apulei Metamorph. l. xi. p. 176.
