So was he seven years in building it. 007:001 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 007:002 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length of it was one hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars. 007:003 It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row. 007:004 There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks. 007:005 All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks. 007:006 He made the porch of pillars; the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them. 007:007 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. 007:008 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work.
