Tree of Life Version
1 Kings 7:2-12
2He also built the Forest House of Lebanon: its length was 100 cubits, its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, built on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers, which were on 45 pillars—15 in a row.
4And there were window frames in three rows, with window opposite window in three ranks.
5And all the doorways had rectangular frame, and with window opposite to window in three tiers.
6He also made a portico of columns, 50 cubits long and 30 cubits wide, with a porch in front, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.
7He also made the Hall of the Throne where he would judge—the Hall of Justice. It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the ceiling.
8His house where he would dwell, set farther back of the hall, was of the same construction. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom Solomon had taken to wife.
9All these were made of expensive stones—stone cut to size and sawed with saws inside and outside—from the foundation to the top and from the outside to the great court.
10The foundation was also made of expensive stones—huge stones, stones eight cubits and stones ten cubits.
11Above were expensive stones, cut to measure, and cedar wood.
12The surrounding great courtyard had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams, the same as the inner court of the House of Adonai and the portico of the House.
