1 To finish the building of his own house Solomon took thirteen years.
2 He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon one hundred cubits long, fifty wide, and thirty high; it was supported by four rows of cedar columns, with cedar beams upon the columns.
3 Moreover, it had a ceiling of cedar above the rafters resting on the columns; these rafters numbered forty-five, fifteen to a row.
4 There were lattices in three rows, each row facing the next,
5 and all the openings and doorposts were squared with lintels, each facing across from the next.
6 He also made the Porch of Columns, fifty cubits long and thirty wide. The porch extended across the front, and there were columns with a canopy in front of them.
