1 Kings 7:12
"And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the great court round about,.... Which surrounded Solomon's house: was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams; these rows were one upon another, and

were a wall to the court, which were either topped with a row of cedar wood, or that was a lining to the stones for the inner court of the house of the Lord; or rather as, or like to that, as appears from Kg1 6:36 , and for the porch of the house; not the temple, but Solomon's house.
