King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
Made himself a chariot - more elaborately made than the "bed," or traveling litter (Song of Solomon 3:7) х 'apiryown (H668)]: from a Hebrew root [paaraah], to elaborate (Ewald). So the temple of "cedar of Lebanon," as compared with the temporary tabernacle of shittim-wood. Jesus Christ's body is the antitype, 'made' by the Father for Him (Hebrews 10:5), the wood answering to His human nature, the gold His divine, the two being but one Christ.
