1 Kings 6:29 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Carved figures of cherubims, as signs of the presence and protection of the angels vouchsafed by God to that place. Palm trees; emblems of that peace and victory over their enemies which the Israelites duly serving God in that place might expect. Within and without; within the oracle and without it, in the holy place.

1 Kings 6:29
