Context of 2 Chronicles 3:7
5They covered the walls inside the big hall with boards of cypress wood. Then they covered the boards with pure gold. They drew pictures of palm trees and chains on the walls. 6They used valuable stones to make the temple beautiful. The gold that they used came from Parvaim. They used gold to cover all parts of the temple: the beams for its roof, the entrances, the walls and the doors. They cut pictures of cherubs on the walls. 8Solomon's workers built the Most Holy Place in the temple. It was 9 metres long and 9 metres wide. That was how wide the temple itself was. They used about 20,000 kilograms of pure gold to cover its walls. 9The gold nails weighed the same as 50 gold coins. They also covered the walls of the upstairs rooms with gold.
