2 Chronicles 3:1-3

1Then Solomon began to build the Lord's temple in Jerusalem. He built it on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had shown himself to his father David. David had prepared a place for the temple there, at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

2Solomon began to build the temple on the second day of the second month of the fourth year that he ruled Israel as king.

3The foundation for God's temple was 27 metres long and 9 metres wide. (They measured it in cubits.)
