2CH-3:1 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.

2CH-3:2 And he began to build in the second [day] of the second

month, in the fourth year of his reign.

2CH-3:3 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.

2CH-3:4 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.

2CH-3:5 And the greater house he ceiled with fir tree, which he

overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

2CH-3:6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for

beauty: and the gold [was] gold of Parvaim.

2CH-3:7 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.

2CH-3:8 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.

2CH-3:9 And the weight of the nails [was] fifty shekels of gold.

And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

2CH-3:10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of

image work, and overlaid them with gold.

2CH-3:11 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.

2CH-3:12 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.

2CH-3:13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth

twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces

[were] inward.

2CH-3:14 And he made the veil [of] blue, and purple, and crimson,

 and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.

2CH-3:15 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.

2CH-3:16 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.

2CH-3:17 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.
