The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
Both cherubim were ten cubits high, the one equal to the other in height. The verse belongs to the account of the permanent temple that replaced the movable tabernacle, keeping the same proportions and furnishings as the tabernacle but on a larger scale.
The temple was built according to God's directions and was the most magnificent building the world ever saw, unsurpassed and not to be excelled for richness, beauty, and costly design. The two larger figures stood at opposite ends of the ark beneath their wings and represented heavenly angels who continually guard God's law. The earthly sanctuary and its furnishings reflected the heavenly sanctuary.
Solomon built the temple by faithfully carrying out God's directions, using the understanding heart and wisdom he had chosen above earthly riches, honor, or long life. He directed every important enterprise and managed the business of the kingdom with wisdom, devotion, uprightness, firm principle, and strict obedience. His faithfulness in this construction spread his fame among all nations for superior knowledge, wisdom, excellence of character, and greatness of power, so that many came from all parts of the world to see him and learn from him.
