1 Kings 9:8

Andat this housewhich is high The connexion of these words is very difficult. The Hebrew text, standing alone, must be rendered -And this house shall be high." But in 2 Chron. the relative is expressed, and there can be little doubt that the text here is somehow faulty. The passage in 2 Chron. (1 Kings 7:21) reads -And this house which is high shall be an astonishment." To come as near to this sense as possible, while introducing no relative, R.V. gives - And though this house be high." Yet that rendering is somewhat doubtful. The text of the LXX. shows that they had our Hebrew before them: καὶ ὁ οἶκος οὖτος ἔσται ὁ ὑψηλός, πᾶς ὁ διαπορευόμενος κ.τ.λ.
