1 But Solomon took ^athirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.

3 And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.

4 There were windows with beveled frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers.

BUILDING OF SOLOMON'S HOUSE. (I Kings 7:1)

Solomon was building his own house thirteen years—The time occupied in building his palace was nearly double that spent in the erection of the temple [I Kings 6:38], because neither had there been the same previous preparations for it, nor was there the same urgency as in providing a place of worship, on which the national well-being so much depended.
