2 Chronicles 3:3-17

[3] Now these are the things wherein Solomon  was instructed  for the building  of the house  of God.  The length  by cubits  after the first  measure  was threescore  cubits,  and the breadth  twenty  cubits.  [4] And the porch  that was in the front  of the house, the length  of it was according to the breadth  of the house,  twenty  cubits,  and the height  was an hundred  and twenty:  and he overlaid  it within  with pure  gold.  [5] And the greater  house  he cieled  with fir  tree,  which he overlaid  with fine  gold,  and set  thereon palm trees  and chains.  [6] And he garnished  the house  with precious  stones  for beauty:  and the gold  of Parvaim.  [7] He overlaid  also the house,  the beams,  the posts,  and the walls  thereof, and the doors  thereof, with gold;  and graved  cherubims  on the walls.  [8] And he made  the most  house,  the length  whereof was according to  the breadth  of the house,  twenty  cubits,  and the breadth  thereof twenty  cubits:  and he overlaid  it with fine  gold,  amounting to six  hundred  talents.  [9] And the weight  of the nails  was fifty  shekels  of gold.  And he overlaid  the upper chambers  with gold.  [10] And in the most  house  he made  two  cherubims  of image  work,  and overlaid  them with gold.  [11] And the wings  of the cherubims  were twenty  cubits  long:  one  wing  of the one cherub was five  cubits,  reaching  to the wall  of the house:  and the other  wing  was likewise five  cubits,  reaching  to the wing  of the other  cherub.  [12] And one wing  of the other  cherub  was five  cubits,  reaching  to the wall  of the house:  and the other  wing  was five  cubits  also, joining  to the wing  of the other  cherub.  [13] The wings  of these cherubims  spread themselves forth  twenty  cubits:  and they stood  on their feet,  and their faces  were inward.  [14] And he made  the vail  of blue,  and purple,  and crimson,  and fine linen,  and wrought  cherubims  thereon. [15] Also he made  before  the house  two  pillars  of thirty  and five  cubits  high,  and the chapiter  that was on the top  of each of them was five  cubits.  [16] And he made  chains,  as in the oracle,  and put  them on the heads  of the pillars;  and made  an hundred  pomegranates,  and put  them on the chains.  [17] And he reared up  the pillars  before  the temple,  one  on the right hand,  and the other  on the left;  and called  the name  Jachin,  and the name  of that on the left  Boaz.
