1 Kings 6:9-15

9He finished building the temple and covered it with rafters and boards made of cedar.

10He built an extension all around the temple; it was seven and a half feet high and it was attached to the temple by cedar beams.

11The Lord said to Solomon:

12“As for this temple you are building, if you follow my rules, observe my regulations, and obey all my commandments, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.

13I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon my people Israel.”

14So Solomon finished building the temple.

15He constructed the walls inside the temple with cedar planks; he paneled the inside with wood from the floor of the temple to the rafters of the ceiling. He covered the temple floor with boards made from the wood of evergreens.
