Built chambers — The Hebrew words may be properly rendered, He built a roof, a flat and plain roof, over all the house, according to the manner of the Israelitish buildings. The inner roof was arched, 1 Kings 6:9, that it might be the more beautiful, but the outward roof was flat. Five cubits — Above the walls of the temple: that it might be a little higher than the arched roof, which it was designed to cover and secure. They rested — Heb. it rested, namely, the roof. Timber of cedar — Which rested upon the top of the wall, as the chambers, 1 Kings 6:5, rested upon the sides of the wall.
