1 Kings 6:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Solomon Builds the Temple

6 Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord. It was 480 years after the Israelites came out of Egypt. It was in the fourth year of Solomon’s rule over Israel. He started in the second month. That was the month of Ziv.

² The temple King Solomon built for the Lord was 90 feet long. It was 30 feet wide. And it was 45 feet high. ³ The temple had a porch in front of the main hall. The porch was as wide as the temple itself. It was 30 feet wide. It came out 15 feet from the front of the temple.
