“And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.”
"His own house where he was to dwell, the other court inside the hall, was of like workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken as his wife." — Solomon's *private residence* (*beyto... asher yeshev sham*) mirrors the *Hall of Judgment* in construction, suggesting *continuity* of design. His wife, the *Egyptian princess* (*bat-Pharaoh*), received a *comparable residence*, indicating her *high status*. The *diplomatic marriage* is architecturally honored.
