John Gill Bible Commentary

And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple,.... Both of the holy, and the most holy place: cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; the doors of both places had the same decorations as the walls of each; See Gill on Eze 41:18; See Gill on Eze 41:19; See Gill on Eze 41:20; and so it was in Solomon's temple, Kg1 6:32, a cherub and a palm tree on each leaf, or on each folding of a leaf, according as it would admit of: and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without; on the outward front of the porch were some thick wainscot boards, which projected as a cover to the entrance into it; or, as it may be rendered, also on the thick piece of wood in the front of the porch without (r); which, as Starckius thinks, was a large wooden bar, which shut and held in the folding leaves of the door; and on this, or these thick planks, were cherubim and palm trees. (r) "etiam denso ligno in fronte vestibuli extrinsecus", Junius & Tremellius; "et trabs lignea ante vestibulum erat foris", Starckius.
