1 Kings 7:1–12

¹And his own house hath Solomon built thirteen years, and he finisheth all his house. ²And he buildeth the house of the forest of Lebanon; a hundred cubits is its length, and fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar-beams on the pillars; ³and it is covered with cedar above, on the sides that are on the forty and five pillars, fifteen in the row. ⁴And windows are in three rows, and sight is over-against sight three times. ⁵And all the openings and the side-posts are square—windows; and sight is over-against sight three times. ⁶And the porch of the pillars he hath made; fifty cubits its length, and thirty cubits its breadth, and the porch is before them, and pillars and a thick place are before them. ⁷And the porch of the throne where he judgeth—the porch of judgment—he hath made, and it is covered with cedar from the floor unto the floor. ⁸As to his house where he dwelleth, the other court is within the porch—as this work it hath been; and a house he maketh for the daughter of Pharaoh—whom Solomon hath taken—like this porch. ⁹All these are of precious stone, according to the measures of hewn work, sawn with a saw, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and at the outside, unto the great court. ¹⁰And the foundation is of precious stone, great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits; ¹¹and above are precious stone, according to the measures of hewn work, and cedar; ¹²and the great court round about is three rows of hewn work, and a row of cedar-beams, even for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and for the porch of the house.
