Now ^(C1)Solomon built his own house over the course of thirteen years, and he finished all of his house.

^(C1)He built the house of the timber from Lebanon; its length was ^(F1)a hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

And it was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.

There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window at three ^(F1)intervals.

And all the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window at three ^(F1)intervals.

Then he made ^(C1)the hall of pillars; its length was ^(F1)fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, and a porch was in front of them and pillars and a ^(C2)threshold in front of them.

And he made the hall of the ^(C1)throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and ^(C2)it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

And his house where he was to live, the other courtyard inward from the hall, was of this same workmanship. ^(C1)He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, ^(C2)whom Solomon had married.

All of these were made of valuable stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the ^(F1)coping, and from the outside to the large courtyard.

And the foundation was of valuable stones, large stones, stones of ^(F1)ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

And above were valuable stones, cut according to measure, and cedar.

So ^(C1)the large courtyard all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams as well as the inner courtyard of the house of the LORD, and ^(C2)the porch of the house.
