(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 cieled 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 vail {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.
