1 Solomon (peace), however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace. 2 He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon (whiteness) a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high <150 ft x 75 ft x 45 ft / 45.7 m x 22.9 m x 13.7 m>, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams. 3 The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row. 4 There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers. 5 All the doorways \doorways and doorposts/ had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers. 6 Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide <75 ft x 45 ft / 22.9 m x 13.7 m>, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico. 7 In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling [from floor to floor]. 8 And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s (great house) daughter, whom he (peace) had married. 1 Kings 7:1-8, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
