1
But Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2
He also built the house of the forest of Lebanon, which was one hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3
And
it was covered with cedar above upon the beams that
lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen
in a row.
4
And
there were windows
in three orders, one against another in three orders.
5
And all the doors and posts
were square, with some windows opposite the other windows in three orders.
6
And he made a porch of pillars, which was fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and the porch
was before those others, with its corresponding pillars and thick beams.
7
Then he made a porch for the throne where he was to judge,
even the porch of judgment; and
it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8
And his house where he dwelt
had another court within the porch,
which was of like work. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken
to wife, like unto this porch.
