³⁶ The wall of the inner court had three layers of hewn stone and one layer of cedar beams.

³⁷ The foundation of the Temple was laid in the month of May in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, ³⁸ and the entire building was completed in every detail in November of the eleventh year of his reign. So it took seven years to build.
