1 Kings 6:19-35

19He prepared the inner room of the temple in order to put the ark of the Lord’s promise there.

20The inner room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. Solomon covered it and the cedar altar with pure gold.

21He covered the inside of the temple with pure gold. He put golden chains across the front of the inner room which was covered with gold.

22He covered the entire inside of the temple with gold. He also covered the entire altar in the inner room with gold.

23In the inner room he made two 15-foot-tall angels  out of olive wood.

24Each wing of the angels was 7½ feet long. The distance from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was 15 feet.

25Both angels had a 15-foot ⌞wingspan⌟. Both had the same measurements and the same shape.

26Each was 15 feet high.

27Solomon put the angels in the inner room of the temple. The wings of the angels extended so that the wing of one of the angels touched the one wall, and the wing of the other touched the other wall. Their remaining wings touched each other in the center of the room.

28He covered the angels with gold.

29He carved angels, palm trees, and flowers into the walls all around the inner and outer rooms of the temple.

30He covered the floor of the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.

31He made doors for the entrance to the inner room out of olive wood. The doorposts had five sides.

32The two doors were ⌞made out of⌟ olive wood. He carved angels, palm trees, and flowers into them and covered them with gold. The gold was hammered onto the angels and the palm trees.

33In the same way he made square doorposts out of olive wood for the temple’s entrance.

34He made two doors from cypress. Each of the doors had two folding panels.

35On them he carved angels, palm trees, and flowers. He evenly covered them with gold.
