Context of 1 Kings 6:19

17The big hall in front of the Most Holy Place was 18 metres long. 18The inside of the temple was covered with boards made of cedar wood. The workers cut pictures of fruits and flowers on the wood. The cedar boards completely covered the stone walls, so you could not see any stone. Solomon prepared the inside room to be the Most Holy Place where they would put the Lord's Covenant Box. 20The inside room was 9 metres long, 9 metres wide and 9 metres high. Solomon used pure gold to cover the walls of this room. He also covered the cedar altar with gold. 21Solomon covered all the walls inside the temple with gold. He also hung gold chains across the entrance to the Most Holy Place. He covered everything there with gold.
