1 Kings 6:15-38 - The Interior Furnishings Of The Temple
15 And he built the walls of the house inside with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling. He covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. 16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar. He even built them for it inside, for the sanctuary, for the Holy of Holies. 17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits. 18 And the cedar of the house inside was carved with gourds and open flowers. All was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 And he prepared the Holy of Holies in the house inside, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 20 And the Holy of Holies in the front part was twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he overlaid it with pure gold, and covered the altar of cedar. 21 And Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold. And he drew chains of gold across before the Holy of Holies. And he overlaid it with gold. 22 And he overlaid the whole house with gold, until he had finished all the house. Also all of the altar that belonged to the Holy of Holies, he overlaid with gold:
23 And inside the Holy of Holies he made two cherubs of olive wood, ten cubits high. 24 And one wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits; ten cubits from the ends of its wings even to the ends of its wings. 25 And the other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubs were of one measure and one size. 26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub. 27 And he set the cherubs inside the inner house. And they stretched forth the wings of the cherubs so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched one another in the midst of the house. 28 And he overlaid the cherubs with gold.
29 And he carved all the walls of the house all around with carved figures of cherubs and palm trees and open flowers, inside and out. 30 And the floor of the house was overlaid with gold inside and out.
31 As to the entrance of the holy place he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and side posts were a fifth part, 32 and the two doors were of olive wood. And he carved on them carvings of cherubs and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold and spread gold on the cherubs and on the palm trees. 33 So also he made side posts for the entrance of the temple from the olive tree, a fourth part. 34 And the two doors were of fir tree. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. 35 And he carved on them cherubs and palm trees and open bowers. And he covered them with gold fitted on the carved work. 36 And he built the inner court with three rows of cut stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37 In the fourth year, in the month Zif, the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid. 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished as to all its parts, and as to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.
