1 King Solomon also built a palace for himself; it took him thirteen years to finish it.
2 Built of cedars from the Forest of Lebanon, it was one hundred fifty feet long, seventy-five feet wide, and forty-five feet high. It had four rows of cedar columns which supported the cedar beams.
3 There were forty-five beams on the roof, with fifteen beams in each row, and the ceiling was covered with cedar above the beams.
4 Windows were placed in three rows facing each other.
5 All the doors were square, and the three doors at each end faced each other.
