1
And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2
For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3
And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.
4
And there were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.
5
And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.
6
And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.
7
And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
8
And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch.
