* And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house ; and he finished all his house . * And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon ; its length was a hundred cubits , and its breadth fifty cubits , and its height thirty cubits , upon four rows of cedar-pillars , with cedar-beams upon the pillars ; * and it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers , which were on forty-five pillars , fifteen in a row . * And there were cross-beams in three rows , and window was against window in three ranks . * And all the doors and posts were square , with an architrave ; and window was against window in three ranks . * And he made the porch of pillars ; its length was fifty cubits , and its breadth thirty cubits ; and there was a porch in front of them ; and there were pillars , and steps in front of them . * And he made the porch for the throne where he judged , the porch of judgment ; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor . * And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch , which was of the like work . And he made , like to this porch , a house for Pharaoh 's daughter , whom Solomon had taken . * All these [buildings ] were of costly stones , hewn stones , according to the measures , sawed with saws , within and without , even from the foundation to the coping , and on the outside as far as the great court . * And the foundations were of costly stones , great stones , stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits . * And above were costly stones , hewn stones , according to the measures , and cedar . * And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stones , and a row of cedar-beams ; and so it was for the inner court of the house of Jehovah , and the porch of the house .
