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 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 covered with cedar above upon the beams, that on forty five pillars, fifteen a row.

4. And windows three rows, and light against light three ranks.

5. And all the doors and posts square, with the windows: and light against light three ranks.

6. And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch before them: and the pillars and the thick beam before them.

7. Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, the porch of judgment: and covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8. And his house where he dwelt another court within the porch, was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken, like unto this porch.

9. All these costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and on the outside toward the great court.

10. And the foundation costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11. And above costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.

12. And the great court round about with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of יְהוָ֥ה, and for the porch of the house.
