What Does 1 Kings 6:8 Mean?
An entrance on the right, or south, side of the house gives access to the side rooms. From it a winding stair rises through the levels, leading from the lowest chamber up to the middle and the top.
The detail of a hidden stairway shows a house built not only to be seen but to be used and served. Worship has its quiet, working parts, the rooms and passages no crowd admires. God's house holds room for unseen service, and even the climbing stair has its honored place in the whole.
