the eleventh year
(Some words not found in UHB: and,in/on/at/with,year the=one(f) teen in/on/at/with,month Būl he/it the,month the,eighth finished the,house to/from=all/each/any/every parts,its and=to/for=all specifications,its and,in_building,it seven years )
The word “eleventh” is the ordinal forms of “eleven.” You may need to make explicit the event from which the writer counts the years. Alternate translation: “the eleventh year after Solomon became king” (See also: figs-explicit)

(Some words not found in UHB: and,in/on/at/with,year the=one(f) teen in/on/at/with,month Būl he/it the,month the,eighth finished the,house to/from=all/each/any/every parts,its and=to/for=all specifications,its and,in_building,it seven years )
“Bul” is the eighth month of the Hebrew calendar. It is during the last part of October and the first part of November on Western calendars. (See also: translate-ordinal and translate-names)
the house was finished in all its parts and conforming to all its specifications
(Some words not found in UHB: and,in/on/at/with,year the=one(f) teen in/on/at/with,month Būl he/it the,month the,eighth finished the,house to/from=all/each/any/every parts,its and=to/for=all specifications,its and,in_building,it seven years )
This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: “they finished building every part of the house. They built it exactly the way Solomon had told them to build it”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,in/on/at/with,year the=one(f) teen in/on/at/with,month Būl he/it the,month the,eighth finished the,house to/from=all/each/any/every parts,its and=to/for=all specifications,its and,in_building,it seven years )
Solomon would have commanded his workers to do this work. Alternate translation: “It took Solomon’s workers”
