The time of building it So he overlaid with gold the whole interior of the temple The overlaying of gold in the temple signifies the immense value and holiness attributed to the dwelling place of God. Gold, a symbol of purity and divinity, was used extensively in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:11) and now in Solomon's temple, indicating continuity in worship practices. The use of gold also reflects the wealth and prosperity of Solomon's reign, as well as the importance of the temple as a central place of worship for Israel. This act of overlaying with gold can be seen as a foreshadowing of the heavenly Jerusalem described in Revelation 21:18, where the city is made of pure gold. until everything was completely finished He also overlaid with gold the entire altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Significance of GoldGold in the temple symbolizes the purity, holiness, and glory of God. It reminds us of the value and worthiness of God’s presence in our lives. The Inner Sanctuary as a Symbol of God's Presence The Holy of Holies represents the intimate presence of God. As believers, we are called to cultivate a personal and intimate relationship with God, recognizing that through Christ, we have direct access to Him. The Altar and Prayer The altar of incense symbolizes the prayers of the saints. We are encouraged to maintain a life of prayer, understanding that our prayers are precious and rise before God like incense. The Temple as a Foreshadowing of Christ The temple and its elements foreshadow the coming of Christ, who is the ultimate High Priest and the true temple. Our faith is built on the foundation of Christ’s sacrifice and His ongoing intercession for us.(22) The whole altar that was by (or belonged to) the oracle.--This is the altar of incense, which, although it stood (see Exodus 30:6; Exodus 40:26) before the veil, and therefore in the Holy place, was considered to belong in idea rather to the Holy of Holies; since the offering of incense on it signified the approach by worship to the unseen presence of God, symbolised in the darkness and silence of the inner shrine; and the taking of the censer from it was a condition for the actual entrance into the Holy of Holies on the great Day of Atonement. Hence in Exodus 40:5 the altar is said to be "set before the ark of the testimony," and here to "belong to the oracle." Probably this is the explanation of the well-known passage in the Epistle to the Hebrews (1Kings 9:4), where the Holiest place is said to have "had the altar of incense" (wrongly rendered "censer" in our Authorised Version).Verse 22. - And the whole house he overlaid with gold [This no mere repetition, more Hebraico, as Bahr and Keil would have us think. Something additional must surely be referred to, and 2 Chronicles 3:4 warrants us in understanding this statement to include the porch, the interior of which was gilded. Because the porch is elsewhere (ver. 3) distinguished from the "house," it does not follow that it can never be comprehended under that term] until he had finished all the house: also [Heb. and]. the altar that was by [Heb. to. See on ver. 20] the oracle he overlaid with gold. Parallel Commentaries ...
