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.
- 3:2
- And he began to build in the
second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:5
- And the greater house he cieled
with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm
trees and chains.
- 3:6
- And he garnished the house with
precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:9
- And the weight of the nails was
fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
- 3:10
- And in the most holy house he made
two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
- 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.
- 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.
- 3:13
- The wings of these cherubims
spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet,
and their faces were inward.
- 3:14
- And he made the vail of blue, and
purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
