2 Chronicles 3:3-9
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.
8Then he made 13the 14room of the Most Holy Place: its length across the width of the house was 15twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 16six hundred talents. 9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid 17the upper rooms with gold.
