Just like the inner court of the Lord's house, (1 Kings 6:36,) and so the following words are to be understood. Both, for the inner court Or, rather, as for the inner court, &c.; for so the particle ו, vau, sometimes signifies. And for the porch of the house Namely, Solomon's own house.

1 Kings 7:12
