Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold,.... The inside of the holy of holies with fine gold, which gold amounted to six hundred talents, 2 Chronicles 3:8; and these to 7,332,000 ducats of gold, or 3,045,000 pounds sterling:

and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; between the holy and the most holy, and were instead of a vail in the tabernacle of Moses between them; here was also a vail beside the partition made by chains of gold across the oracle; for the partition was a wall of the thickness of a cubit, as Maimonides b says; and in 2 Chronicles 3:14 express mention is made of a vail of blue, c. and in imitation of this had the Heathens their deities within vails c:

and he overlaid it with gold the partition wall.

b Hilchot Beth Habechirah, c. 4. sect. 2. c Apulei Metamorph. l. xi. p. 176.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The house - i. e., the main chamber.

The chains of gold - Omit “the.” Their object was to form a barrier between the holy place and the holy of holies.
