1KI-6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth
year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of
Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the
month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build
the house of the LORD.
1KI-6:2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the
length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof
twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.
1KI-6:3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty
cubits [was] the length thereof, according to the breadth of the
house; [and] ten cubits [was] the breadth thereof before the
house.
1KI-6:4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
1KI-6:5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers
round about, [against] the walls of the house round about,
[both] of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers
round about:
1KI-6:6 The nethermost chamber [was] five cubits broad, and the
middle [was] six cubits broad, and the third [was] seven cubits
broad: for without [in the wall] of the house he made narrowed
rests round about, that [the beams] should not be fastened in
the walls of the house.
1KI-6:7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of
stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there
was neither hammer nor ax [nor] any tool of iron heard in the
house, while it was in building.
1KI-6:8 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.
1KI-6:9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the
house with beams and boards of cedar.
1KI-6:10 And [then] he built chambers against all the house,
five cubits high: and they rested on the house [with] timber of
cedar.
1KI-6:11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
1KI-6:12 [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:
1KI-6:13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will
not forsake my people Israel.
1KI-6:14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
1KI-6:15 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.
1KI-6:16 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].
1KI-6:17 And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was
forty cubits [long].
1KI-6:18 And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with
knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.
1KI-6:19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set
there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
1KI-6:20 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.
1KI-6:21 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.
1KI-6:22 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.
1KI-6:23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive
tree, [each] ten cubits high.
1KI-6:24 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.
1KI-6:25 And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the
cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.
1KI-6:26 The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so
[was it] of the other cherub.
1KI-6:27 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.
1KI-6:28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
1KI-6:29 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.
1KI-6:30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold,
within and without.
1KI-6:31 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].
1KI-6:32 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.
1KI-6:33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of]
olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].
1KI-6:34 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.
1KI-6:35 And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and
open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the
carved work.
1KI-6:36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed
stone, and a row of cedar beams.
1KI-6:37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of
the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
1KI-6:38 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.
