* But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years , and he finished all his house . * He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon ; the length thereof was an hundred cubits , and the breadth thereof fifty cubits , and the height thereof thirty cubits , upon four rows of cedar pillars , with cedar beams upon the pillars . * And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams , that lay on forty five pillars , fifteen in a row . * And there were windows in three rows , and light was against light in three ranks . * And all the doors and posts were square , with the windows : and light was against light in three ranks . * And he made a porch of pillars ; the length thereof was fifty cubits , and the breadth thereof thirty cubits : and the porch was before them : and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them . * Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge , even the porch of judgment : and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other . * And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch , which was of the like work . Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh 's daughter , whom he had taken to wife , like unto this porch . * All these were of costly stones , according to the measures of hewed stones , sawed with saws , within and without , even from the foundation unto the coping , and so on the outside toward the great court . * And the foundation was of costly stones , even great stones , stones of ten cubits , and stones of eight cubits . * And above were costly stones , after the measures of hewed stones , and cedars . * And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones , and a row of cedar beams , both for the inner court of the house of the LORD , and for the porch of the house .
