1 Kings 7:1-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Now Solomon built his own house for thirteen years, and he brought it to perfection.

2. And he built the house from the forest of Lebanon: one hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height, with four walkways between columns of cedar. For he had hewn the cedar trees into columns.

3. And he clothed the entire vaulted room with panels of cedar. And it was supported by forty-five columns. Now one row held fifteen columns,

4. each positioned opposite another,

5. and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.

6. And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.

7. He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.
