2 Chronicles 3:3-9

3Now these are the 1foundations which 2Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in 3cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits. 4The porch which was in front of the house 4was as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. 5He overlaid 5the 6main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and 7ornamented it with palm trees and chains. 6Further, he 8adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from 9Parvaim. 710He also overlaid the house with gold--the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he 11carved cherubim on the walls.

8Now he made 12the 13room of the holy of holies: its length across the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 600 talents. 9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid 14the upper rooms with gold.
