11:007:001 But Solomon was building his own house
thirteen years, and he
finished
all his house.
11:007:002 He built also the house of the forest of
Lebanon; the length
thereof
was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty
cubits,
and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows
of
cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
11:007:003 And it was covered with cedar above upon
the beams, that lay
on
forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
11:007:004 And there were windows in three rows, and
light was against
light
in three ranks.
11:007:005 And all the doors and posts were square,
with the windows: and
light
was against light in three ranks.
11:007:006 And he made a porch of pillars; the length
thereof was fifty
cubits,
and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the
porch
was
before them: and the other pillars and the thick
beam were
before
them.
11:007:007 Then he made a porch for the throne where
he might judge, even
the
porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar
from one
side
of the floor to the other.
11:007:008 And his house where he dwelt had another
court within the
porch,
which was of the like work. Solomon made also
an house
for
Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife,
like unto
this
porch.
11:007:009 All these were of costly stones, according
to the measures of
hewed
stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from
the
foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward
the
great court.
11:007:010 And the foundation was of costly stones,
even great stones,
stones
of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11:007:011 And above were costly stones, after the
measures of hewed
stones,
and cedars.
11:007:012 And the great court round about was with
three rows of hewed
stones,
and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court
of
the
house of the lord, and for the porch of the house.
11:007:013 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
11:007:014 He was a widow’s son of the tribe
of Naphtali, and his father
was
a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled
with
wisdom,
and understanding, and cunning to work all works in
brass.
And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
11:007:015 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen
cubits high
apiece:
and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them
about.
11:007:016 And he made two chapiters of molten brass,
to set upon the
tops
of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter
was five
cubits,
and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
