1
And his own house hath Solomon built thirteen years, and he finisheth all his house.
2
And he buildeth the house of the forest of Lebanon; a hundred cubits [is] its length, and fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar-beams on the pillars;
3
and [it is] covered with cedar above, on the sides that [are] on the forty and five pillars, fifteen in the row.
4
And windows [are] in three rows, and sight [is] over-against sight three times.
5
And all the openings and the side-posts [are] square -- windows; and sight [is] over-against sight three times.
6
And the porch of the pillars he hath made; fifty cubits its length, and thirty cubits its breadth, and the porch [is] before them, and pillars and a thick place [are] before them.
7
And the porch of the throne where he judgeth -- the porch of judgment -- he hath made, and [it is] covered with cedar from the floor unto the floor.
8
As to his house where he dwelleth, the other court [is] within the porch -- as this work it hath been; and a house he maketh for the daughter of Pharaoh -- whom Solomon hath taken -- like this porch.
9
All these [are] of precious stone, according to the measures of hewn work, sawn with a saw, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and at the outside, unto the great court.
10
And the foundation [is] of precious stone, great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits;
11
and above [are] precious stone, according to the measures of hewn work, and cedar;
12
and the great court round about [is] three rows of hewn work, and a row of cedar-beams, even for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and for the porch of the house.
