1 Kings 7:1-12

1Now 1Solomon built his own house over the course of thirteen years, and he finished all of his house. 22He built the house of the timber from Lebanon; its length was 3a hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars. 3And it was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row. 4There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window at three 4intervals. 5And all the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window at three 5intervals.

6Then he made 6the hall of pillars; its length was 7fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a 8threshold in front of them.

7And he made the hall of the 9throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and 10it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

8And his house where he was to live, the other courtyard inward from the hall, was of this same workmanship. 11He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, 12whom Solomon had married.

9All of these were made of valuable stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the 13coping, and from the outside to the large courtyard.

10And the foundation was of valuable stones, large stones, stones of 14ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11And above were valuable stones, cut according to measure, and cedar. 12So 15the large courtyard all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams as well as the inner courtyard of the house of the Lord, and 16the porch of the house.
