1 Kings 6:9-22

[9] So he built  the house,  and finished  it; and covered  the house  with beams  and boards  [10] And then he built  chambers  against all the house,  five  cubits  high:  and they rested  on the house  with timber  of cedar.  [11] And the word  came to Solomon,  saying,  [12] Concerning this house  which thou art in building,  in my statutes,  and execute  my judgments,  and keep  all my commandments  in them; then will I perform  my word  with thee, which I spake  unto David  thy father:  [13] And I will dwell  among  the children  of Israel,  and will not forsake  my people  Israel.  [14] So Solomon  built  the house,  and finished  [15] And he built  the walls  of the house  with boards  of cedar,  both the floor  of the house,  and the walls  of the cieling:  and he covered  them on the inside  with wood,  and covered  the floor  of the house  with planks  of fir.  [16] And he built  twenty  cubits  on the sides  of the house,  both  the floor  and the walls  with boards  of cedar:  he even built  them for it within,  even for the oracle,  even for the most  place. [17] And the house,  that is, the temple  it, was forty  cubits  [18] And the cedar  of the house  within  was carved  with knops  flowers:  all was cedar;  there was no stone  seen.  [19] And the oracle  he prepared  in  the house  within,  to set  there the ark  of the covenant  of the LORD.  [20] And the oracle  in the forepart  was twenty  cubits  in length,  and twenty  cubits  in breadth,  and twenty  cubits  in the height  thereof: and he overlaid  it with pure  gold;  and so covered  the altar  which was of cedar.  [21] So Solomon  overlaid  the house  within  with pure  gold:  and he made a partition  by the chains  of gold  before  the oracle;  and he overlaid  it with gold.  [22] And the whole house  he overlaid  with gold,  until he had finished  all the house:  also the whole altar  that was by the oracle  he overlaid  with gold.
