1 Kings 6:9
"So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So he built the house, and finished it,.... The body of it, the walls of the holy and most holy place, with the chambers on the sides of them, and

the porch at the end that led into them: and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar; with hollow boards, as the Targum, which formed an arch ceiling to it, and made it look very grand and beautiful; and then over them were laid beams and planks of cedar, not properly as a flat roof to it, but rather as a flooring for other buildings; for upon this, as in Kg1 6:10 , there were chambers built.
