1 Kings 7:7
"Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Then he made a porch for the throne,.... The ivory throne on which he sat to hear and try causes, Kg1 10:18 , where he might judge, even the porch

of judgment: which had its name from thence; this was either in his house in the forest of Lebanon, or in his palace at Jerusalem; the former seems best: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor unto the other; that is, the whole floor.
