21He builtH1129 the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844; its lengthH753 was 100H3967 2cubitsH520 and its widthH7341 50H2572 cubitsH520 and its heightH6967 30H7970 cubitsH520, on fourH702 rowsH2905 of cedarH730 pillarsH5982 with cedarH730 beamsH3772 on the pillarsH5982. 3It was paneledH5603 with cedarH730 aboveH4605H5921 the sideH6763 chambersH6763 whichH834 were on the 45H705H2568 pillarsH5982, 15H2568H6240 in each rowH2905. 4There were artistic window framesH8261 in threeH7969 rowsH2905, and windowH4237 was oppositeH413 windowH4237 in threeH7969 ranksH6471. 5AllH3605 the doorwaysH6607 and doorpostsH4201 had squaredH7251 artistic framesH8260, and windowH4237 was oppositeH4136H413 windowH4237 in threeH7969 ranksH6471.

8His houseH1004 whereH834H8033 he was to liveH3427, the otherH312 courtH2691 inwardH4480H1004 from the hallH197, was of the sameH2088 workmanshipH4639. 7He also madeH6213 a houseH1004 like thisH2088 hallH197 for Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, 8whomH834 SolomonH8010 had marriedH3947.

9AllH3605 theseH428 were of costlyH3368 stonesH68, of stoneH1496 cutH1496 according to measureH4060, sawedH1641 with sawsH4050, insideH4480H1004 and outsideH4480H2351; even from the foundationH4527 to the copingH2947, and so on the outsideH2351 to the greatH1419 courtH2691.
