SCRIPTURE

"And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king`s house, and all Solomon`s desire which he was pleased to do," — 1 Kings 9:1 (ASV)

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building
of the house of the Lord
Which was done in seven years, (1 Kings 6:38) .

and the king's house ;
his own palace, which was finished in thirteen years, (1 Kings 7:1) ,

and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do ;
all his other buildings, the house for Pharaoh's daughter, the house of the forest of Lebanon, and may include his vineyards, gardens, orchards, and pools of water, made for his pleasure, (Ecclesiastes 2:4–6) in which he succeeded and prospered, (2 Chronicles 7:11) .
