1 Kings 7:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Then he made the hall for the throne. This is where he would give judgment; thus it was called the hall of judgment. The entire room was paneled from floor to floor^[a] with cedar.

⁸ His own residence, the interior court behind the hall of judgment, was made the same way. For his wife, Pharaoh’s daughter, Solomon constructed another house like the hall of judgment. ⁹ They were all decorated inside and out, top to bottom, with costly stones, rare rocks perfectly cut with saws.
