Bible. Kings, 1st
11:006:008 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the
house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
11:006:009 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house
with beams and boards of cedar.
11:006:010 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits
high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11:006:011 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
11:006:012 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt
walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my
commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with
thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
11:006:013 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not
forsake my people Israel.
11:006:014 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
11:006:015 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of
cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the
ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and
covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
11:006:016 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 holy
place.
11:006:017 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits
long.
11:006:018 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and
open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
11:006:019 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there
the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
11:006:020 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.
11:006:021 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.
11:006:022 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.
11:006:023 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree,
each ten cubits high.
11:006:024 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five
cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part
of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten
cubits.
11:006:025 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were
of one measure and one size.
11:006:026 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of
the other cherub.
