Solomon’s Palace Complex

7 Solomon completed his entire palace complex after thirteen years of construction.^{(A) 2} He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon.^(B) It was forty-five metres^[a] long, twenty-three metres^[b] wide, and thirteen and a half metres^[c] high on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on top of the pillars.

¹¹ So Solomon finished the Lord’s temple and the royal palace. Everything that had entered Solomon’s heart to do for the Lord’s temple and for his own palace succeeded.^(A)
