New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Kings 5
12 The Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
13 Now King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.
14 He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in relays; they were in Lebanon a month and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the forced laborers.
15 Now Solomon had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains,
16 besides Solomon’s 3,300 chief deputies who were over the project and who ruled over the people who were doing the work.
17 Then the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with cut stones.
18 So Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timbers and the stones to build the house.
1 Kings 6
1 Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.
2 As for the house which King Solomon built for the Lord, its length was sixty cubits and its width twenty cubits and its height thirty cubits.
3 The porch in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits in length, corresponding to the width of the house, and its depth along the front of the house was ten cubits.
4 Also for the house he made windows with artistic frames.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
