There was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy in front of them.And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment, even the Hall of Judgment. It was finished with cedar from floor to rafters.His own house where he was to dwell, in the other court back of the hall, was of like workmanship.
