1 Kings 7:6
"And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And he made a porch of pillars,.... At the west end of the house: and the length thereof was fifty cubits; answerable to the breadth of the house: and the

breadth thereof thirty cubits: which, added to the length of the house, made it one hundred and thirty: and the porch was before them; the four rows of cedar pillars of the house, Kg1 7:2 this porch was either for his guards to keep watch in; or for his courtiers to walk in, sheltered from rain or the like; or perhaps only for grandeur and magnificence: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them; the pillars of the porch, on which were laid beams of cedar for a storey over them, and so on; these were before and right against, and answered to the pillars of the house.
