1 Kings 7:2-7
2He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high,1 with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams.
3The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row. 4There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers. 5All the doorways2 had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
6Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide,3 with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
7In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.4
