Matthew Henry on 1 Kings 5:10-18

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

The temple was chiefly built by the riches and labour of Gentiles, which typified their being called into the church. Solomon commanded, and they brought costly stones for the foundation. Christ, who is laid for a Foundation, is a chosen and precious Stone.

We should lay our foundation firm, and bestow most pains on that part of our religion which lies out of the sight of men. And happy those who, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Who among us will build in the house of the Lord?
