Kings III 7
Brenton 1851 translation with original translator material, eBible HTML edition
40 And he **formed the house with chambers above on the sides of the pillars, and the number of the pillars was each row forty and five,
41 and there were three chambers, and space against space in three rows.
42 And all the doors and spaces formed like chambers were square, and from door to door was a correspondence in three rows.
43 And he made the ††porch of the pillars, they were fifty cubits long and fifty broad, the porch joining them in front; and the other pillars and the thick beam were in front of the house by the porches.
44 And there was the Porch of seats where he would judge, the porch of judgment.
45 And their house where he ‡‡would dwell, had one court communicating with these according to this work; and he built the house for the daughter of Pharao whom Solomon had taken, according to this porch.
46 All these were of costly stones, sculptured at intervals within even from the foundation even to the §§top, and outward to the great court,
47 founded with large costly stones, stones of ten cubits and eight cubits long.
48 And above with costly stones, according to the measure of hewn stones, and with cedars.
49 There were three rows of hewn stones round about the great hall, and a row of sculptured cedar:
50 and Solomon finished all his house.
