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

But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

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

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.

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

And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.

There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window at three intervals.

And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 coping, and from the outside to the large courtyard.

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.

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

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

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

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

So 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 the porch of the house.

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