"With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
With three rows of great stones,.... Which Jarchi interprets of the walls of it, and these stones of marble; and so Ben Melech: and a row of new timber; of
cedar wood upon the rows of stone, see Kg1 6:36 or for the lining and wainscoting the walls: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house; treasury, or exchequer; but it does not appear that this part of the decree was observed, at least hitherto; but the Jews built at their own expense, and perhaps did not exactly observe the directions given as to the dimensions of the house.
