1 - 12 Building the Palace
Solomon spent 13 years constructing his palace. It is described as being very large and opulent.
13 - 51 Furnishing the Temple
My notes: "The two hollow bronze columns, Jachin and Boaz, stood free to the right and left of the temple porch. The names are related to God's power (Boaz) [I always thought that meant "Outlet Mall" - K] founding (Jachine) the temple and his people. (15-21)" Then . . . "The sea . . . rested on 12 oxen: this was a large circular tank containing about 12,000 gallons of water."
When it was completed, Solomon dedicated offerings of David, putting gold and silver into the temple treasuries.

Solomon took 13 years to build his palace; almost twice as long as the temple. It was 100x50x30, larger than the temple (60x20x30). Details are given.
Solomon sent for Huram, a bronze craftsman, to make all the accessories for the temple. A complete list of his work is in vs 41-45. Solomon made the gold items for the temple. A list of these is in vs 48-50.
When everything was completed Solomon stored all of David's furniture, silver, and gold in the temple.
