1 Kings 7:1-12

VIN(i) 1 Then was Solomon thirteen years building a house for himself. 2 and he builds the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high; on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars; 3 And it was covered with cedar above the beams, that lay on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4 Set one against another, 5 All the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames, with the doorways facing each other in three tiers. 6 The hall of pillars he made fifty cubits in its length and thirty cubits in its width, and a porch was in front of them, with pillars and an overhang in front of them. 7 He constructed the Judgment Hall for the throneroom where he would be ruling, paneling it with cedar from floor to ceiling. 8 As to his house where he lived, the other court was within the porch, as this work was. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken, like this porch. 9 From the foundation to the roof, all these buildings, including the large courtyard, were built with high-grade stone blocks. The stone blocks were cut to size and trimmed with saws on their inner and outer faces. 10 And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or eight cubits. 11 Overhead were highly priced stones cut to measure, and cedar-wood. 12 The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house.
