New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Kings 6
³⁶ And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone and a row of cedar beams.
³⁷ In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid, in the month of Ziv.
³⁸ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.
1 Kings 7
¹ But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.
² He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.
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.
⁵ And all the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames; and window was opposite window in three tiers.
⁶ He also made the Hall of Pillars: its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and in front of them was a portico with pillars, and a canopy was in front of them.
⁷ Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
⁸ And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken as wife.
