The Second Book of Chronicles
3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where
Jehovah appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had
appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 3:2And he began to build in the second day
of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 3:3Now these are the foundations which
Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure
was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 3:4And the porch that was before the house,
the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred
and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 3:5And the greater house he ceiled with
fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chains. 3:6And he
garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 3:7He
overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof,
with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls. 3:8And he made the most holy house: the length
thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty
cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 3:9And the weight of the
nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. 3:10And in the most
holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold. 3:11And the
wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the 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. 3:12And the 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.
3:13The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their
feet, and their faces were toward the house. 3:14And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and
crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon. 3:15Also he made before the house two
pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five
cubits. 3:16And he made chains in the oracle, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a
hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 3:17And he set 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.
