2 Chronicles 3:3-7

3Now these are the 1foundations which 2Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard, was 3sixty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits. 4The porch which was in front of the house 4was as long as the width of the house, 5twenty cubits, and the height 6twenty; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold. 5He overlaid 7the 8main room with juniper wood and overlaid it with fine gold; and he 9ornamented it with palm trees and chains. 6Further, he overlaid the house 10with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 711He also overlaid the house with gold--the beams, the thresholds, and its walls and doors; and he 12carved cherubim on the walls.
