Commentaries
Excerpts gathered from published commentaries to ground the reading.
The veil between the holy place and the most holy, not mentioned in Kg1 6:21, was made of the same materials and colours as the veil on the tabernacle, and was inwoven with similar cherub figures; cf. Exo 26:31. וּבוּץ כּרמיל as in Ch2 2:13. עלה על, to bring upon; an indefinite expression for: to weave into the material.

The place and time of building the temple (Ch2 3:1, Ch2 3:2). II. The dimensions and rich ornaments of it (Ch2 3:3-9). III. The cherubim in the most holy place (Ch2 3:10-13). IV. The veil (Ch2 3:14). V. The two pillars (Ch2 3:15-17). Of all this we have already and an account, 1 Kings 6, 7.
