an hundred and twenty.As the height of the temple was only thirty cubits, 120 seems too great a height for the porch; but the Syriac, Arabic, and the LXX. in the codex Alexandrinus, have only twenty, probably reading, instead of {maiah weesrim,} "one hundred and twenty," {ammoth esrim,} "twenty cubits;" which brings it within the proportion of the other measures.
• The eternal gates will lift up their heads to let the King of glory pass. He will have a rich entry into His own kingdom. Only in Chronicles do we find the immense height of this porch (2 Chron. 3:4; cf. Psa. 24:7, 9; Mal. 3:1; Hag. 2:7; 2 Pet. 1:11,17). (“Solomon - The Temple: 2 Chronicles 3-5” by H.L. Rossier)
