1Ki 9:24-25 1Ki 9:24, 1Ki 9:25 contain two notices, with which the account of Solomon’s buildings is brought to a close. Both verses point back to 1Ki 3:1-4 (viz., 1Ki 9:24 to 1Ki 3:1, and 1Ki 9:25 to 1Ki 3:2-4), and show how the incongruities which existed at the commencement of Solomon’s reign were removed by his buildings. When Solomon married Pharaoh’s daughter, he brought her into the city of David (1Ki 3:1), until he should have finished his palace and built her a house of her own within it. After this building was completed, he had her brought up from the city of David into it. עלה, came up, inasmuch as the palace stood upon the loftier summit of Zion. אך is to be connected with אז which follows, in the sense of only or just as: as soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had gone up into the house built for her, Solomon built Millo.
