פירוש על מלכים א 6:5

A chamber. Apentec, in O.F. It has three names, יציע' תא' צלע, thus is this explained in [Maseches] Bava Basra.¹¹ 61a.

Around the walls of the Beis Hamikdosh circling all around. I.e., against the Sanctuary and the Holy of Holies, which is the דביר, he made chambers on the outside at the south, west, and north. And the end of the verse explains its beginning. “He built against the wall of the Beis Hamikdosh, [meaning] near the wall of the Beis Hamikdosh, a chamber round about. How did he make it? “Against the walls of the Beis Hamikdosh, [i.e., against] the Sanctuary and the Holy of Holies, he made chambers.”

And he made. He made. And similarly, “He was [ויהי] my salvation,”¹²Shemos 15:2. means the same as “He was [היה] my salvation.”¹³The word ‘יהי’ is in the future tense but the ‘vav’ converts it [="ו" המהפך] to the past tense.
