And Solomon made an alliance by marriage with Pharaoh the king of Egypt. And he took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into the city of David, until he finished building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, the eighth month, the house was finished as to all its parts, and according to all its plans. So he built it for seven years.
