And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.And there were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter( whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch.All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar- wood.And the great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.

There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.

And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

There is a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: and over the increase of the vineyards for the wine- cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:

My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna- flowers In the vineyards of En- gedi.

Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling- places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, And its blossom is open, And the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love.

And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of Jehovah hath come.

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Jehovah, and his own house,that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.And Solomon went to Hamath- zobah, and prevailed against it.And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store- cities, which he built in Hamath.Also he built Beth- horon the upper, and Beth- horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;and Baalath, and all the store- cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

And he built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the lowland also, and in the plain: and he had husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry.

The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling- place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the king’s dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom’s monument, unto this day.

Solomon had a vineyard at Baal- hamon; He let out the vineyard unto keepers; Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: Thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand, And those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
