Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.It was covered with cedar above over the forty- five beams, that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row.There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window in three ranks.All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was facing window in three ranks.He made the porch of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits; with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them.He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter( whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like the inner court of Yahweh’s house and the porch of the house.
