1 Kings 6:31

And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.

This detail belongs to the account of Solomon's construction of the temple, the house of God. In that work Solomon faithfully carried out God's directions for building the house. The resulting temple was renowned for exceptional richness, beauty, and costly and magnificent design.

The verse describes the entering of the oracle, the inner sanctuary or Most Holy Place, whose doors were made of olive wood with lintel and side posts occupying a fifth part of the wall. This shows that the temple followed the two-apartment sanctuary plan. It was a permanent and larger structure modeled on the wilderness tabernacle in its proportions and furnishings.
