Verse 5 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Kings. Solomon builds his own house, palace, and other structures after completing the temple. The contrasting construction periods reveal the scale of the royal undertaking. The narrative does not directly condemn the palace, but the narrative proximity between God’s house and the royal constructions raises a question about the monarchy’s priorities. Solomon’s kingdom magnificence is connected both to worship and royal power.

Und alle Türen waren in ihren Pfosten viereckig, und die Fenster waren einander gegenüber dreimal.
Y todas la puertas y postes eran cuadrados: y las unas ventanas estaban frente a las otras en tres órdenes.
Todas las entradas y las jambas tenían marcos rectangulares, y las ventanas estaban unas frente a otras en tres niveles.
Toutes les portes et tous les poteaux étaient formés de poutres en carré; et, à chacun des trois étages, les ouvertures étaient les unes vis-à-vis des autres.
E tutti i vani e gli stipiti erano di figura quadra; e l’uno aspetto era dirincontro all’altro triplicatamente.
Também todas as portas e ombreiras quadradas eram de uma mesma vista; e uma janela estava defronte da outra, em três ordens.
所有的門和門柱都有四方形的框,共有三行,彼此相對。
