1 Solomon took thirteen years to build his palace.
2 He named it “The Palace of the Lebanon Forest”; it was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It had four rows of cedar pillars and cedar beams above the pillars.
3 The roof above the beams supported by the pillars was also made of cedar; there were forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
4 There were three rows of windows arranged in sets of three.
5 All of the entrances were rectangular in shape and they were arranged in sets of three.
6 He made a colonnade 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. There was a porch in front of this and pillars and a roof in front of the porch.
7 He also made a throne room, called “The Hall of Judgment,” where he made judicial decisions. It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the rafters.
