Now it
came
about in the four
hundred
and eightieth
year
after the sons
of Israel
came
out of the land
of Egypt,
in the fourth
year
of Solomon's
reign
over
Israel,
in the month
of Ziv
which
is the second
month,
that he began to build
the house
of the LORD.
2
As for the house
which
King
Solomon
built
for the LORD,
its length
was sixty
cubits
and its width
twenty
cubits
and its height
thirty
cubits
.
3
The porch
in front
of the nave
of the house
was twenty
cubits
in length,
corresponding
to the width
of the house
,
and its depth
along
the front
of the house
was ten
cubits
.
4
Also for the house
he made
windows
with artistic frames.
5
Against
the wall
of the house
he built
stories
encompassing
the wall
s
of the house
around
both the nave
and the inner sanctuary;
thus he made
side chambers
all
around
.
6
The lowest
story
was five
cubits
wide,
and the middle
was six
cubits
wide,
and the third
was seven
cubits
wide;
for on the outside
he made
offsets
in the wall of the house
all around
in order that the beams would not be inserted
in the walls
of the house.
7
The house,
while it was being built,
was built
of stone
prepared
at the quarry,
and there was neither
hammer
nor
axe
nor
any
iron
tool
heard
in the house
while it was being built.
8
The doorway
for the lowest
side
chamber
was on the right
side
of the house;
and they would go
up by winding stairs
to the middle
story, and from the middle
to the third.
9
So he built
the house
and finished
it; and he covered
the house
with beams
and planks
of cedar.
10
He also built
the stories
against
the whole
house,
each five
cubits
high;
and they were fastened
to the house
with timbers
of cedar.
11
Now the word
of the LORD
came
to Solomon
saying,
12
"Concerning this
house
which
you are building,
if
you will walk
in My statutes
and execute
My ordinances
and keep
all
My commandments
by walking
in them, then I will carry
out My word
with you
which
I spoke
to David
your father.
13
"I will dwell
among
the sons
of Israel,
and will not forsake
My people
Israel."
14
So Solomon
built
the house
and finished
it.
15
Then he built
the walls
of the house
on the inside
with boards
of cedar;
from
the floor
of the house
to the ceiling
he overlaid
the walls
on the inside
with wood,
and
he overlaid
the floor
of the house
with boards
of cypress.
16
He built
twenty
cubits
on the rear part
of the house
with boards
of cedar
from the floor
to the ceiling;
he built
them for it on the inside
as an inner sanctuary,
even as the most
holy place.
17
The house,
that is, the nave
in front
of the inner sanctuary, was forty
cubits
long.
18
There was cedar
on the house
within,
carved
in the shape of gourds
and open
flowers;
all
was cedar,
there was no
stone
seen.
19
Then he prepared
an inner sanctuary
within
the house
in order to place
there
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD.
20
The inner sanctuary
was
twenty
cubits
in length,
twenty
cubits
in width,
and
twenty
cubits
in height,
and he overlaid
it with pure
gold.
He also overlaid
the altar
with cedar.
21
So Solomon
overlaid
the inside
of the house
with pure
gold.
And he drew
chains
of gold
across
the front
of the inner sanctuary,
and he
overlaid
it with
gold.
22
He overlaid
the whole
house
with gold,
until
all
the
house
was finished.
Also
the whole
altar
which
was by the inner sanctuary
he overlaid
with gold.
23
Also in the inner sanctuary
he made
two
cherubim
of olive
wood,
each ten
cubits
high.
24
Five
cubits
was the one
wing
of the cherub
and five
cubits
the other
wing
of the cherub
;
from the end
of one
wing
to the end
of
the other
wing
were ten
cubits
.
25
The other
cherub
was ten
cubits;
both
the cherubim
were of the same
measure
and the same
form.
26
The height
of the one
cherub
was ten
cubits,
and so
was the other
cherub
.
27
He placed
the cherubim
in the midst
of the inner
house,
and the wings
of
the cherubim
were spread
out, so that the wing
of the one
was touching
the one wall,
and the wing
of
the
other
cherub
was touching
the
other
wall.
So their wings
were touching
each
other
in the center
of the house.
28
He also overlaid
the cherubim
with gold.
29
Then he carved
all
the w
all
s
of the house
round about
with carved engravings
of cherubim,
palm trees,
and open
flowers,
inner
and outer
sanctuaries.
30
He overlaid
the floor
of the house
with gold,
inner
and outer
sanctuaries.
31
For the entrance
of the inner sanctuary
he made
doors
of olive
wood,
the lintel
and five-sided
doorposts.
32
So he made two
doors
of olive
wood,
and he carved
on them carvings
of cherubim,
palm
trees,
and open
flowers,
and overlaid
them with gold;
and he spread
the gold
on the cherubim
and on the
palm
trees.
33
So
also he made
for the entrance
of the nave
four-sided
doorposts
of olive
wood
34
and two
doors
of cypress
wood;
the two
leaves
of the one
door
turned
on pivots,
and
the two
leaves
of the other
door
turned
on pivots.
35
He carved
on it cherubim,
palm trees,
and open
flowers;
and he overlaid
them with gold
evenly applied
on the engraved
work.
36
He built
the inner
court
with three
rows
of cut stone
and a row
of cedar
beams.
37
In the fourth
year
the foundation
of the house
of the LORD
was laid,
in the month
of Ziv.
38
In the eleventh
year,
in the month
of Bul,
which
is the eighth
month,
the house
was finished
throughout all
its parts
and according to all
its plans.
So he was seven
years
in building
it.
