Clarke's 1-kings 7:8 Bible Commentary
A house for Pharaoh's daughter - This appears to have been a third house; probably the whole three made but one building, and were in the same place, but distinguished from each other; the first as Solomon's palace, the second as a house of judgment, a court-house; the third, the harem, or apartments for the women.
Barnes's 1-kings 7:8 Bible Commentary
Like unto this porch - i. e., of similar materials, hewn stone and cedar. The zenana could not have been a mere portico.
