1 Kings 6:19-28

19Solomon 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.

22So he covered everything inside the whole temple with gold. That included the altar that was inside the Most Holy Place.

23Solomon used olive wood to make models of two cherubs to stand in the Most Holy Place. Each cherub was 4.4 metres tall.

24The first cherub had two wings that were 2.2 metres long each. So it was 4.4 metres from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing.

25The second cherub was also 4.4 metres across its wings. The two cherubs were the same size and the same shape.

26Each cherub was 4.4 metres high.

27Solomon put the cherubs in the inside room of the temple. Their wings went from one wall of the temple to the other wall. One cherub's wing touched one wall of the temple. One of the other cherub's wings touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.

28Solomon covered the cherubs with gold.
