1 Kings 7:2-8
1599 Geneva Bible
2 He built also an house [a]called the forest of Lebanon, an hundred cubits long, and fifty cubits broad, and thirty cubits high, upon four rows of Cedar pillars: and Cedar beams were laid upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered above with cedar upon the beams, that lay on the forty and five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And the windows were in three rows, and window was [b]against window in three ranks.
5 And all the doors, and the side posts with the windows were foursquare, and window was over against window in three ranks.
6 And he made a porch of pillars fifty cubits long, and thirty cubits broad, and the porch was before [c]them, even before them were thirty pillars.
7 ¶ Then he made a porch [d]for the throne, where he judged, even a porch of judgment, and it was ceiled with cedar from pavement to pavement.
8 And in his house where he dwelt was another hall more inward than the porch which was of the same work. Also Solomon made an house for Pharaoh’s daughter ((A)whom he had taken to wife) like unto this porch.
