1 Kings 6:14-22

14So SolomonH8010 builtH1129 the templeH1004 and finishedH3615 itH853. 15He linedH1129 the interiorH1004 wallsH7023 with cedarH730 panelingH6763 from the floorH7172 of the templeH1004 toH5704 the ceilingH5604, and he coveredH6823 the floorH7172H1004 with cypressH12651 boardsH6763.

16He partitioned offH1129 the twentyH6242 cubitsH520 atH4480 the rearH3411 of the templeH1004 with cedarH730 boardsH6763 from floorH7172 toH5704 ceilingH7023 to formH1129 within the templeH1004 an inner sanctuaryH1687, the Most Holy PlaceH6944.2 17And the main hallH1004H1931H1964 in front ofH6440 this room wasH1961 fortyH705 cubitsH520 long.3

18The cedarH730H413 paneling insideH6441 the templeH1004 was carvedH4734 with gourdsH6497 and openH6362 flowersH6731. EverythingH3605 was cedarH730; notH369 a stoneH68 could be seenH7200.

19Solomon also preparedH3559 the inner sanctuaryH1687 withinH8432 the templeH1004H6441 to setH5414 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 thereH8033. 20The innerH6440 sanctuaryH1687 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 longH753, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 wideH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 highH6967. He overlaidH6823 the inside with pureH5462 goldH2091, and he also overlaidH6823 the altarH4196 of cedarH730.4

21So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the insideH6441 of the templeH1004 with pureH5462 goldH2091, and he extendedH5674 goldH2091 chainsH75725 across the frontH6440 of the inner sanctuaryH1687, which was overlaidH6823 with goldH2091. 22So he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091 the whole interiorH3605 of the templeH1004, untilH5704 everythingH3605H1004 was completely finishedH8552. He also overlaidH6823 with goldH2091 the entireH3605 altarH4196 that belonged toH834 the inner sanctuaryH1687.
