1 Kings 7:1-12

Solomon's Other Buildings

7¹ Now Solomon was building his own house thirteen e years , and he finished all his house . ² He built the house of the forest of Lebanon ; its length was 100 cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits , on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars . ³ It was paneled with cedar above e the side chambers which were on the 45 e pillars , 15 e in each row . ⁴ There were artistic window frames in three rows , and window was opposite window in three ranks . ⁵ All the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames , and window was opposite e window in three ranks . ⁶ Then he made the hall of pillars ; its length was 50 cubits and its width 30 cubits , and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them. ⁷ He made the hall of the throne where e he was to judge , the hall of judgment , and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor . ⁸ His house where e he was to live , the other court inward e from the hall , was of the same workmanship . He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter , whom Solomon had married . ⁹ All these were of costly stones , of stone cut according to measure , sawed with saws , inside e and outside e ; even from the foundation to the coping , and so on the outside to the great court . ¹⁰ The foundation was of costly stones , even large stones , stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits . ¹¹ And above e were costly stones , stone cut according to measure , and cedar . ¹² So the great court all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams even as the inner court of the house of the Lord , and the porch of the house .
