1 Kings 7:5
3 The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
4 There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
6 Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
7 In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
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.
