1 Kings 7:2-8

Common English Bible

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 that was seventy-five feet long and forty-five feet wide. Another porch was in front of these with roofed columns in front of them.^{[a] 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. ⁸ The royal residence where Solomon lived was behind this hall. It had a similar design. Solomon also made a similar palace for his wife, Pharaoh’s daughter.
