1 Kings 7:2-12

21He built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was 100 2cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars. 3It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the 45 pillars, 15 in each row. 4There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks. 5All the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

6Then he made 3the 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 4threshold in front of them.

7He made the hall of the 5throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and 6it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

8His house where he was to live, the other court inward from the hall, was of the same workmanship. 7He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, 8whom Solomon had married.

9All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

10The foundation was of costly stones, even large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11And above were costly stones, stone cut according to measure, and cedar. 12So 9the 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 10the porch of the house.
