Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 6:18

18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops, and open flowers, all was cedar , there was no stone seen.

i. e. All the House was covered with Cedar. Quest. How was this true, when it was covered with Fir, 2 Chron. 3. 5? Answ. 1. It was done both with Cedar and Fir: of which see on ver. 15. 2. It may be said to be all cedar, because the greatest part was so, Universal Particles being oft so used. 3. Cedar is here named, not to exclude all other Wood, but Stone onely; as the following Words shew. 4. Or, all was of Cedar; that is, all the Carving was of Cedar.
