He constructed the inner court with three rows of precut stone and a row of cedar beams.

He built his own palace out of timber supplied from the forest of Lebanon. It was 100 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 20 cubits tall, and was constructed on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams interlocking the pillars.

So the great court was surrounded by three rows of cut stone, along with a row of cedar beams, just like the inner court of the LORD's Temple and the porch surrounding the Temple.

After Solomon built the Temple and finished it, he covered the Temple with beams and planks made of cedar.

The beams of our house are cedar, our rafters are pine.
