It took twenty years for the LORD's temple and Solomon's palace to be built.
Seven years later the workers finished building it during Bul, the eighth month of the year. It was built exactly as it had been planned.
Solomon's palace took thirteen years to build.
The LORD's temple and Solomon's palace were now finished, and Solomon had built everything he wanted.
After that, Solomon had his workers rebuild the towns that Hiram had given him. Then Solomon sent Israelites to live in those towns.
