1
Then Solomon began
to build the house of the
L
ORD
at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where
the Lord
appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2
And he began to build in the second
day
of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3
Now these
are the things wherein
Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure
was
threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4
And the porch that
was
in the front
of the house
, the length
of it was
according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height
was
an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold
was
gold of Parvaim.
7
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
8
And he made the most holy house, the length whereof
was
according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold,
amounting
to six hundred talents.
9
And the weight of the nails
was
fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10
And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
11
And the wings of the cherubims
were
twenty cubits long: one wing
of the one cherub was
five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing
was likewise
five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12
And
one
wing of the other cherub
was
five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing
was
five cubits
also
, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13
The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces
were
inward.
14
And he made the vail
of
blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15
Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that
was
on the top of each of them
was
five cubits.
16
And he made chains,
as
in the oracle, and put
them
on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put
them
on the chains.
17
And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
