House of the Forest Article
STEPBible TIPNR
The House of the Forest of Lebanon was a building that was part of King Solomon's palace complex in Jerusalem (1Ki.7.2). It was named for the extensive use of cedar from Lebanon in its construction. The building was larger than the temple and served as an armory, storing shields and other weapons (1Ki.10.17, 21; 2Ch.9.16, 20; Isaiah 22:8). It was likely a separate structure from the palace itself and may have also been used for other purposes, such as a place for official gatherings or a residence for visiting dignitaries.
