1 Kings 6:29-35

29On all the walls around the temple, inside and out, he carved cherubs, palm trees, and flowers in bloom.

30He plated the floor of the temple with gold, inside and out.

31He made doors of olive wood at the entrance to the inner sanctuary; the pillar on each doorpost was five-sided.

32On the two doors made of olive wood he carved cherubs, palm trees, and flowers in bloom, and he plated them with gold. He plated the cherubs and the palm trees with hammered gold.

33In the same way he made doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall, only with four-sided pillars.

34He also made two doors out of wood from evergreens; each door had two folding leaves.

35He carved cherubs, palm trees, and flowers in bloom and plated them with gold, leveled out over the carvings.
