1 Then Solomon be­gan to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Mo­ri­ah, where the LORD ap­peared unto David his fa­ther, in the place that David had pre­pared in the thresh­ingfloor of Or­nan the Je­busite. 2 And he be­gan to build in the sec­ond day of the sec­ond month, in the fourth year of his reign. 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 was 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 holy 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 holy 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 of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
