1 Kings 7:1-12

Geneva(i) 1 Bvt Salomon was building his owne house thirteene yeeres, and finished all his house. 2 He built also an house called the forest of Lebanon, an hundreth cubites long, and fiftie cubites broad, and thirtie cubites hie, vpon foure rowes of cedar pillars, and cedar beames were layed vpon the pillars. 3 And it was couered aboue with cedar vpon the beames, that lay on the fourtie and fiue pillars, fifteene in a rowe. 4 And the windowes were in three rowes, and windowe was against windowe in three rankes. 5 And all the doores, and the side postes with the windowes were foure square, and windowe was ouer against windowe in three rankes. 6 And he made a porche of pillars fiftie cubites long, and thirtie cubites broade, and the porch was before them, euen before them were thirtie pillars. 7 Then he made a porch for the throne, where he iudged, euen a porch of iudgement, and it was sieled with cedar from pauement to pauement. 8 And in his house, where he dwelt, was an other hall more inwarde then the porche which was of the same worke. Also Salomon made an house for Pharaohs daughter ( whom he had taken to wife) like vnto this porche. 9 All these were of costly stones, hewed by measure, and sawed with sawes within and without, from the foundation vnto the stones of an hand breadth, and on the outside to the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, and great stones, euen of stones of ten cubites, and stones of eight cubites. 11 Aboue also were costly stones, squared by rule, and boardes of cedar. 12 And the great court round about was with three rowes of hewed stones, and a rowe of cedar beames: so was it to ye inner court of the house of the Lord, and to the porche of the house.
