Exegesis
The conjunction ve-habayit {וְהַבַּיִת | wə·ha·ba·yit} ‘and the house’ introduces a new object, with asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă·šer} ‘that’ launching a relative clause completed by banah {בָּנָה | ba·nā} ‘he built’ (Qal perfect). This compact bi-clausal structure highlights the queen’s dual objects of wonder—Solomon’s insight and his monumental building.
