19 He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 The inner sanctuary he prepared in the innermost part of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 The Inner Sanctuary within The Temple was for housing the Chest of the Covenant of God.
19 And he prepared the inner sanctuary inside the temple, to set the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
19 He prepared the inner sanctuary at the far end of the Temple, where the Ark of the Lord 's Covenant would be placed.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:19
Commentary on 1 Kings 6:15-38
(Read 1 Kings 6:15-38)
See what was typified by this temple. 1. Christ is the true Temple. In him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead; in him meet all God's spiritual Israel; through him we have access with confidence to God. 2. Every believer is a living temple, in whom the Spirit of God dwells, 1 Corinthians 3:16. This living temple is built upon Christ as its Foundation, and will be perfect in due time. 3. The gospel church is the mystical temple. It grows to a holy temple in the Lord, enriched and beautified with the gifts and graces of the Spirit. This temple is built firm, upon a Rock. 4. Heaven is the everlasting temple. There the church will be fixed. All that shall be stones in that building, must, in the present state of preparation, be fitted and made ready for it. Let sinners come to Jesus as the living Foundation, that they may be built on him, a part of this spiritual house, consecrated in body and soul to the glory of God.
