1 Kings 6:14-22

14So Solomon built the house (temple) and finished it.

15He built the walls of the interior of the house [that is, the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies] with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the rafters of the ceiling. He overlaid the interior with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.

16He built twenty cubits on the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling; he built its interior as the [inner] sanctuary, the Holy of Holies.

17The [rest of the] house, that is, the temple in front of the Holy of Holies, was forty cubits long.

18The cedar on the house within had wood carvings in the shape of gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was visible.

19Then he prepared the Holy of Holies within the house in order to put the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.

20The Holy of Holies was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height (a cube), and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the cedar altar [with gold].

21Solomon overlaid the interior of the house with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across the front of the Holy of Holies (inner sanctuary), and he overlaid it with gold.

22Then he overlaid the entire house with gold, until the whole house was finished. He also overlaid the entire [incense] altar which was by the Holy of Holies with gold.
