Shelomoh’s palace

1 Ki 7:1–12

7Shelomoh also spent thirteen years getting his own palace finished. 2He built the ‘Lebanon Forest Hall’ that was forty-six metres long, twenty-three metres wide, and fourteen metres high, with four rows of cedar pillars and cedar beams sitting across the pillars. 3It was roofed with cedar boards on forty-five supports set out into three rows of fifteen. 4There were three rows of window gaps arranged in sets of three. 5All the entrances and doorposts were made with wood planed with square sides, and they were arranged in sets of three.

6He made his covered porch with pillars. It was twenty-three metres long and fourteen metres wide.

7He made a hall for his throne where he would judge casescalled ‘The Judgement Hall’. It was covered with cedar from floor to ceiling.

8His actual residence behind the hall was constructed in a similar way. Shelomoh also built a house for his wife who was Far-oh’s daughter.[ref]

9All these buildings were constructed with expensive stones that had been cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out. They went from the foundation up to the eaves, and from the outside across to the great courtyard. 10These large, costly stones in the foundations were cut in two sizes, with the largest almost five metres long. 11On top of those were other costly stones of various sizes, and then cedar beams. 12The largest courtyard had three rows of dressed stones and one row of cedar beams, as did the inner temple courtyard and the palace hall.
