1. But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2. 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.
3. And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4. And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
5. And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
