It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the ceiling. 8 His own palace where he would reside, in another court behind the Hall, was built similarly. Solomon also built a palace for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married, following the same design as the Hall. 9 All these buildings were made from costly stones, cut to size and sawed with a saw, from the foundations to the coping, and from the outside to the great courtyard. 10 The foundation was made of large, costly stones, with some measuring ten cubits and others eight cubits. 11 Above were precious stones cut to measure, along with cedar wood. 12 The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of hewn stone and one row of cedar beams, similar in design to the inner courtyard of the Lord's house and its portico.

I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem who had come before me. 8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, the treasure of kings and provinces. I gathered male and female singers for myself, and the delights of men—many concubines. 9 I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom stayed with me. 10 Anything my eyes desired, I did not withhold from them; I did not keep my heart from any pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, for this was my reward for all my efforts. 11 Yet when I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, behold, everything was meaningless—a chasing after the wind. There was nothing to be gained under the sun.

Your father ate and drank, but he practiced justice and righteousness, and it went well with him. 16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and it was well with him. Is this not what it means to know me? declares the LORD.
