*
Solomon was building his own house thirteen years ,
and he finished his entire house .
*
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 ,
and it was built upon three rows of cedar pillars ,
with cedar beams upon the pillars .
*
And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were upon the forty-five pillars ,
fifteen in each row .
*
There were window frames in three rows ,
and window opposite window in three tiers .
*
All the doorways and windows had square frames ,
and window was opposite window in three tiers .
*
And he made the Hall of Pillars ;
its length was fifty cubits ,
and its breadth thirty cubits ;
there was a porch in front with pillars ,
and a canopy before them .
*
And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment ,
even the Hall of Judgment ;
it was finished with cedar from floor to rafters .
*
His own house where he was to dwell ,
in the other court back of the hall ,
was of like workmanship .
Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh '
s daughter whom he had taken in marriage .
*
All these were made of costly stones ,
hewn according to measure ,
sawed with saws ,
back and front ,
even from the foundation to the coping ,
and from the court of the house of the LORD to the great court .
*
The foundation was of costly stones ,
huge stones ,
stones of eight and ten cubits .
*
And above were costly stones ,
hewn according to measurement ,
and cedar .
*
The great court had three courses of hewn stone round about ,
and a course of cedar beams ;
so had the inner court of the house of the LORD ,
and the vestibule of the house .
