Barnes's 1-kings 7:12 Bible Commentary
The palace, like the temple, had two courts 1 Kings 6:36, not, however, one immediately within the other. The lesser court of the palace seems to have been a private inner court among the buildings 1 Kings 7:8. The greater court was outside all the buildings, surrounding the palace on every side. Assyrian palaces had always such an external court, and had generally one or more inner courts or quadrangles.
Both for the inner court - By a slight alteration of the text, the meaning would be "as (was done) in the inner court, etc. and in the porch."
Wesley's 1-kings 7:12 Bible Commentary
7:12 The court - Namely, of Solomon's dwelling - house mentioned, ver. 8 .
