1 Kings 7:1-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And Shelomoh built his own house for thirteen years, and he completed his entire house.

2. And he built the house of the forest of Leḇanon. It was one hundred cubits long, and fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar columns, and cedar beams on the columns.

3. And it was panelled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five columns, fifteen to a row.

4. And there were windows with narrowed frames in three rows, and window was opposite window, three times.

5. And all the doorways and doorposts had square frames. And window was opposite window, three times.

6. And he made the porch of the columns, fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. And the porch was in front of them, and the columns and the roof was in front of them.

7. And he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Right-ruling, where he ruled. And it was panelled with cedar from floor to floor.

8. And the house where he was to dwell, in the other courtyard, within the hall was of like workmanship. And Shelomoh made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken.

9. All these were of precious stone hewn to size, sawed with a saw, inside and out, from the foundation to the coping, and also on the outside to the great courtyard.

10. And the foundation was of precious stone, large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

11. And above were precious stones, hewn to size, and cedar wood.

12. So the great courtyard all around had three rows of hewn stones and a row of cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the House of יהוה and the porch of the House.

13. And Sovereign Shelomoh sent and brought Ḥiram from Tsor.
