“And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and his own house,”
At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house, — Solomon's building projects required twenty years (עִשְׂרִים שָׁנִים). The extensive timeframe reflects the temple's massive scale and the palace's grandeur. The Chronicler records Solomon's completion and moves forward chronologically.
