1 Kings 7:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even
the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one
side of the floor to the other.
8 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the
porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house
for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto
this porch.
1 Kings 7:7-8 New Life Version (NLV)
7 He made a room for the throne, the room for judging. It was
where he would decide between right and wrong. It was covered
with cedar from the floor to the roof. 8 His own house where he
was to live, in the place behind the throne room, was built the
same way. Solomon made a house like this room for Pharaoh’s
daughter also, whom he had married.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
7 This room was for him to judge the problem was the law came
from the Lord and not Solomon, so it would have been wise to let
God’s priests decide and judge as they were to do based on the
law. Thrones were common; the temple had one for God.
8 Solomon’s house was built behind the throne room were made
with cedar. Solomon also made a home for his wife; Solomon focus
on self is starting to happen and later would be a down fall for
him. We should not put to much thought into what we have or want
as we do serving the Lord.
