Gill's Notes on the Bible

And his house where he dwelt,.... Which was properly his dwellingplace, that part of the house where he usually resided:

[had] another court within the porch, which [was] of the like work; a court between that and the porch, called the inner court, 2 Kings 20:4.

Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife; see 1 Kings 3:1,

like unto this porch: being built of the same sort of materials, though in a different form.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Like unto this porch - i. e., of similar materials, hewn stone and cedar. The zenana could not have been a mere portico.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 7:8. A house for Pharaoh's daughter — This appears to have been a third house; probably the whole three made but one building, and were in the same place, but distinguished from each other; the first as Solomon's palace, the second as a house of judgment, a court-house; the third, the harem, or apartments for the women.
