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.

All these
works were of costly stones, cut and sawed with saws according to the measurements, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and
so on the outside unto the great court.
10
And the foundation
was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.
11
And above
were also costly stones, hewed according to their measurements, and work of cedar.
12
And the great court round about had three orders of hewed stones and an order of cedar beams, and
likewise the inner court of the house of the LORD and the porch of the house.

And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre,
