Solomon: 1 Chronicles 28:11-19
instructed: Heb. founded
The length: 1 Kings 6:2, 1 Kings 6:3
the first measure: It is supposed, with much probability, that the first measure means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after their return from captivity: and, as these Books were written after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile some variations in the historical books, with respect to numbers when applied to measures.
Reciprocal: Ezra 6:3 - the height Ezekiel 41:2 - the length

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The marginal âfoundedâ gives a clue to another meaning of this passage, which may be translated: âNow this is the ground-plan of Solomon for the building, etc.â
Cubits after the first measure - i. e., cubits according to the ancient standard. The Jews, it is probable, adopted the Babylonian measures during the captivity, and carried them back into their own country. The writer notes that the cubit of which he here speaks is the old (Mosaic) cubit.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 3:3. The length - after the first measure was threescore cubits — It is supposed that the first measure means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after their return from captivity; and, as the books of Chronicles were written after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth shorter than the cubit of Moses. See the same distinction observed by Ezekiel, Ezekiel 40:5; Ezekiel 43:13.
