Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: 1Ki 22:39 - The ivory house

The ivory house Heb. the house of the tooth or teeth , to wit, of elephants: see 1Ki 10:18 . Not that it was made wholly of solid ivory, but because the other materials were covered, or intermixed, or adorned with ivory. Compare Amo 3:15 .

Haydock: 1Ki 22:39 - Of ivory

Of ivory. The palace was greatly adorned with it, (see Amos iii. 15., and Psalm xliv. 9.; Calmet) like the palace of Solomon, chap. x. 18. Pliny (xvi. 43.) speaks of bedsteads and vehicles of ivory, in the same sense. (Tirinus)

Gill: 1Ki 22:39 - Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made // and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel

Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made,.... Which, being a very curious and extraordinary thing, is particularly mentioned; though perhaps it might not be made wholly of ivory, but inlaid with it; we read of ivory houses in Amo 3:15,

and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? in which the acts of his predecessors were recorded, see 1Ki 14:19 not the Scripture book of Chronicles, for there none of these things are related.
