1 Kings 6:14-22

141So Solomon built the house and finished it. 15Then he 2built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the 3ceiling he overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress. 164He built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the 5ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, even as 6the most holy place. 17The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty 7cubits long. 18There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of 8gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen. 19Then he prepared an inner sanctuary within the house in order to place there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 209The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar. 21So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold. And he drew chains of gold across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold. 22He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also 10the whole altar which was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
