1 Kings 7:4

Verse 4 of 51. The 7th of 22 chapters in 1 Kings, in History.

1Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

3It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row.

4There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window in three ranks.

5All the doors and posts were made square with beams; and window was facing window in three ranks.

6He made the hall of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them.

7He 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.

8His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the same construction. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
