1 Kings 6:23-33

231And in the inner sanctuary he made two 2cherubim of olive wood, each 3ten cubits high. 24The one wing of the first cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the first cherub was five cubits; from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing were ten cubits. 25The second cherub was ten cubits; both of the cherubim were of the same measurement and the same form. 26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub. 27He placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and 4the wings of the cherubim spread out so that the wing of the one was touching the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall. And their wings were touching 5end to 6end in the center of the house. 28He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29Then he carved all the surrounding walls of the house with engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, for the inner and outer sanctuaries. 30And he overlaid the floor of the house with gold, for the inner and outer sanctuaries.

33So too he made for the entrance of the main room four-sided doorposts of olive wood,
