1 Kings 6:29-35

29On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers.

30He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.

31For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary.

32And on the two olive-wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.

33In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall.

34He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets.

35He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
