1 Kings 7:8

And his house where he dwelt,.... Which was properly his dwellingplace, that part of the house where he usually resided:

[had] another court within the porch, which [was] of the like work; a court between that and the porch, called the inner court, 2 Kings 20:4.

Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife; see 1 Kings 3:1,

like unto this porch: being built of the same sort of materials, though in a different form.
