But, his own house, was Solomon thirteen years in building, - so he finished all his house.

Yea he built the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits, the length thereof, and, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and, thirty cubits, the height thereof, - upon four rows of pillars of cedar, with beams of cedar, upon the pillars;

and it was covered with cedar above upon the joists, that were on forty-five pillars, - fifteen in a row.

And there were, window spaces, in three rows, - and light over against light, three times.

And, all the openings and the posts, were square in their frame, - and light was over against light, three times.

And, a porch of pillars, made he, fifty cubits, in length, and, thirty cubits, in breadth, - and, a porch, was on the one front of them, and pillars and threshold, were on the other front of them.

And, a porch for the throne, where he should judge, even the porch of judgment, made he, and it was wainscotted with cedar, from floor to ceiling.

And, his own house where he should dwell, in the other court within the porch, was, of like workmanship unto this, - a house also, made he, for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken to wife , in a similar porch.

All these, were of costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stones, sawn with saws, within and without, - even from the foundation, unto the coping, and without as far as the great court.

And, the foundation, was of costly stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

And, above, were costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stone, and cedar.

And, the great court round about, was of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of beams of cedar, - both to the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and to the porch of the house.
