Then
Solomon
began
to
build
the
house
of
the
LORD
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.
6
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.
