1 KINGS—NOTE ON 1 Kings 6:14 Solomon built the house and finished it. The repetition of v. 1 Kings 6:9 in v. 1 Kings 6:14 marks a return to the main story line of vv. 1 Kings 6:1 after the detour of vv. 1 Kings 6:11. Now the inside of the temple is described. Most attention is paid to the inner sanctuary (vv. 1 Kings 6:16, 1 Kings 6:19), the Most Holy Place where the ark of the covenant was to be placed (v. 1 Kings 6:19). It was within the inner sanctuary that the Lord sat. He was enthroned on the cherubim (v. 1 Kings 6:23; see 1 Samuel 4:4; Psalms 99:1).
