| I Kings 7:1 | And Solomon built his own house in *thirteen years, and brought it to perfection. 3 Kings 6:38.; 3 Kings 9:10. | Year of the World 3000, Year before Christ 1004. Thirteen. He was only twelve years and a half; since he finished both the temple and the palace in 20 years, 3 Kings 9:10. Salien observes that Solomon's house was connected with the queen's, as well as with that part which was styled of the forest of Libanus, for their mutual recreation, the year before Christ 1023. The Roman Septuagint places the 13 first verses at the end, ver. 51. (Haydock) |
