Contextual Overview
1 And Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, in Mount Moriah, where He appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, in the grain floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build on the second, in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 3 And these are the foundations Solomon laid , to build the house of God: the length by cubits according to the ancient measure, sixty cubits; and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 As to the porch on the front, the length, according to the breadth of the house in front, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it inside with pure gold. 5 And the greater house he covered with cypress wood, and he covered it with good gold, and caused to go on it palms and chains. 6 And he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 7 And he covered the house, the beams, the threshold, and the walls, and its doors with gold; and engraved cherubs on the walls. 8 And he built the Most Holy House, its length was the same as the front, as of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits; and he covered it with good gold, to six hundred talents; 9 and the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold, and he covered the upper rooms with gold.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The upper chambers - Compare 1 Chronicles 28:11. Their position is uncertain. Some place them above the holy of holies, which was ten cubits, or fifteen feet lower than the main building (compare 1 Kings 6:2, 1 Kings 6:20); others, accepting the height of the porch 120 cubits 2 Chronicles 3:4, regard the “upper chambers” or “chamber” ὑπερῷον huperōon, Septuagint), as having been a lofty building erected over the entrance to the temple; others suggest that the chambers intended are simply the uppermost of the three sets of chambers which on three sides surrounded the temple (see 1 Kings 6:5-10). This would seem to be the simplest and best explanation, though we cannot see any reason for the rich ornamentation of these apartments, or for David’s special directions concerning them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 3:9. The weight of the nails was fifty shekels — Bolts must be here intended, as it should be preposterous to suppose nails of nearly two pounds' weight.
The supper chambers — Probably the ceiling is meant.
