1 Kings 6:14-22 ▼

14 And Solomon built the house and completed it.

15 And he built the walls of the house on the inside On the inside with cedar boards from the floor of the house up to the walls of the ceiling. He overlaid with wood the inside, and he covered the floor of the house with sides of cypress.

16 And he built the twenty cubits at the rear of the house with cedar boards from floor to ceiling, and he built it inside, as the inner sanctuary, for the Holy of Holies.

17 And forty by the cubit was the sanctuary; it is the house before it.

18 And the cedar for the house inside was carved with gourds and open flowers. All was cedar; not a stone was seen.

19 And the inner sanctuary in the midst of the house on the inside, he prepared to set there the ark of the covenant of YHWH.

20 And before the face of the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. And He overlaid it with pure gold, and he overlaid the altar of cedar.

21 And Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold, and He stretched gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.

22 And all the house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house. And all the altar that was for the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
