1 Kings 6:18

And the cedar of the house within Better more literally, with R.V. -And there was cedar upon the house within." He is now describing the wainscot of the holy place.

carved with knops There is a feminine form of the word here rendered -knops," which in 2 Kings 4:39 is used of -wild gourds." Hence -gourds" is put on the margin of A.V. and R.V. The ornaments were in relief, and were perhaps somewhat of that shape. The Targum describes them as -egg-shaped." The Vat. LXX. (not Alex.) omits the verse altogether.
