1 Kings 6:19-35

19And the inner sanctuary he prepared in the inside of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 20And the inner sanctuary in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.1 21So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the inner sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold. 22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold. 23And within the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.2 24And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the outmost part of the one wing to the outmost part of the other were ten cubits. 25And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size. 26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub. 27And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.3 28And he overlaid the cherubim with gold. 29And he carved all the walls around the house with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.4 30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without. 31And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall .5 32The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.67 33So also he made for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall .8 34And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. 35And he carved on it cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
