Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 7:1

7:1 House - The royal palace for himself, and for his successors.Thirteen years - Almost double the time to that in which the temple wasbuilt; because neither were the materials so far provided and prepared forthis, as they were for the temple: nor did either he or his people use thesame diligence in this, as in the other work; to which they were quickenedby God's express command.
