What Does 1 Kings 6:10 Mean?
The ring of side chambers is finished, each story five cubits in height, bound to the main house by cedar beams. The supporting rooms now wrap the sanctuary fully, level upon level.
The same precious cedar that crowns the house also joins its lesser rooms. Nothing about the dwelling of God is cheap or careless, even the surrounding chambers. Care for the whole, down to the joining timbers, reflects a heart that gives its best to God not only at the center but in every part.
