1
But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.
2
He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.
3
And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.
4
There were windows with beveled frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers.
5
And all the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames; and window was opposite window in three tiers.
6
He also made the Hall of Pillars: its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and in front of them was a portico with pillars, and a canopy was in front of them.
7
Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
8
And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as wife.
9
All these were of costly stones cut to size, trimmed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the eaves, and also on the outside to the great court.
