1 Kings 6:9-18

9So 1he builtH1129 the houseH1004 and finishedH3615 it; and he coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beamsH1356 and 2planksH7713 of cedarH730. 10He also builtH1129 the storiesH3330 againstH5921 the wholeH3605 houseH1004, each 3fiveH2568 cubitsH520 highH6967; and they 4were attachedH270 to the houseH1004 with timbersH6086 of cedarH730.

11Now the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, 12“As for thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 you are buildingH1129, 5ifH518 you will walkH1980 in My statutesH2708 and executeH6213 My ordinancesH4941 and keepH8104 allH3605 My commandmentsH4687 by walkingH1980 in them, then I will fulfillH6965 My wordH1697 with you whichH834 I spokeH1696 to DavidH1732 your fatherH1. 13And 6I will dwellH7931 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and 7will not abandonH5800 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.”

148So SolomonH8010 builtH1129 the houseH1004 and finishedH3615 it. 15He 9builtH1129 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 on the insideH4480H1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730; from the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 to the 10ceilingH7023H5604 he paneledH6823 the walls on the insideH4480H1004 with woodH6086, and he paneledH6823 the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of juniperH1265. 1611He also builtH1129 12twentyH6242 cubitsH520 on the rearH3411 partH3411 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730 from the floorH7172 to the 13ceilingH7023; he builtH1129 them for it on the insideH4480H1004 as an innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687, as 14the MostH6944 HolyH6944 PlaceH6944. 17The houseH1004, that is, the mainH1964 roomH1964 in frontH6440 of the inner sanctuary, was 15fortyH705 cubitsH520 long. 18There was cedarH730 insideH6441 the houseH1004, carvedH4734 in the shape of 16gourdsH6497 and openH6362 flowersH6731; everythingH3605 was cedarH730, thereH369 wasH369 noH369 stoneH68 visibleH7200.
