1 Kings 6:16-20

161He built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the 2ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, even as 3the most holy place.

17The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty 4cubits long.

18There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of 5gourds 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.

206The 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.
