1 Kings 7:1-12

1And SolomonH8010 was thirteen yearsH8141 buildingH1129 his own houseH1004; and he finishedH3615 all his houseH1004.

2And he builtH1129 the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844; its lengthH753 was a hundredH3967 cubitsH520, and its breadthH7341 fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and its heightH6967 thirtyH7970 cubitsH520, upon fourH702 rowsH2905 of cedar-pillars, with cedar-beams upon the pillarsH5982;

3and it was coveredH5603 with cedarH730 above upon the side-chambers, which were on forty-fiveH705 pillarsH5982, fifteen in a rowH2905.

4And there were cross-beams in threeH7969 rowsH2905, and windowH4237 was against windowH4237 in threeH7969 ranks.

5And all the doorsH6607 and posts were squareH7251, with an architrave; and windowH4237 was against windowH4237 in threeH7969 ranks.

6And he madeH6213 the porchH197 of pillarsH5982; its lengthH753 was fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and its breadthH7341 thirtyH7970 cubitsH520; and there was a porchH197 in front of them; and there were pillarsH5982, and steps in front of them.

7And he madeH6213 the porchH197 for the throneH3678 whereH834 he judgedH8199, the porchH197 of judgmentH4941; and it was coveredH5603 with cedarH730 from floorH7172 to floorH7172.

8And his houseH1004 whereH834 he dweltH3427 had another courtH2691 within the porchH197, which wasH1961 of the like workH4639. And he madeH6213, like to this porchH197, a houseH1004 for Pharaoh's daughterH1323, whom SolomonH8010 had takenH3947.

9All these [buildings] were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, hewnH1496 stonesH68, according to the measures, sawed with sawsH4050, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outsideH2351 as far as the greatH1419 courtH2691.

10And the foundations were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, greatH1419 stonesH68, stonesH68 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 and stonesH68 of eightH8083 cubitsH520.

11And above were costlyH3368 stonesH68, hewnH1496 stonesH68, according to the measures, and cedarH730.

12And the greatH1419 courtH2691 roundH5439 about had threeH7969 rowsH2905 of hewnH1496 stonesH1496, and a rowH2905 of cedar-beams; and so it was for the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the porchH197 of the houseH1004.
