1. Kongebok 7,1

Nå bygde Salomo sitt eget hus i tretten år, og han fullførte hele sitt hus.

2 Han bygde Libanonskoghuset; det var hundre alen langt, femti alen bredt og tretti alen høyt, på fire rekker med sedersøyler med sederbjelker på søylene.

3 Det var tekket med seder over kamrene som var på de førtifem søylene, femten i hver rad.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
