Bible. Kings, 1st
11:006:027 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they
stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, 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.
11:006:028 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
11:006:029 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with
carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers,
within and without.
11:006:030 And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and
without.
11:006:031 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive
tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
11:006:032 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them
carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and
overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims,
and upon the palm trees.
11:006:033 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive
tree, a fourth part of the wall.
11:006:034 And 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.
11:006:035 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open
flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved
work.
11:006:036 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone,
and a row of cedar beams.
11:006:037 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD
laid, in the month Zif:
11:006:038 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the
eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts
thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he
seven years in building it.
11:007:001 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he
finished all his house.
11:007:002 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length
thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty
cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows
of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
11:007:003 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay
on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
11:007:004 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against
light in three ranks.
11:007:005 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and
light was against light in three ranks.
11:007:006 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty
cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch
was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were
before them.
