1 Kings 7:1-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Now as for Solomon’s palace, it took thirteen years for him to complete its construction.

2. He built the Forest of Lebanon Palace one hundred fifty feet in length, seventy-five feet in width, and forty-five feet in height. It had four rows of cedar columns with cedar engravings above the columns.

3. The palace’s cedar roof stood above forty-five beams resting on the columns, fifteen beams to each row.

4. Three sets of window frames faced each other.

5. All the doorframes were rectangular, facing each other in three sets.

6. He made a porch with columns seventy-five feet long and forty-five feet wide. Another porch was in front of these with roofed columns in front of them.

7. He made the throne room the Hall of Justice, where he would judge. It was covered with cedar from the lower to the upper levels.
