2Chronicles:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah ,
where he appeared to David his father ,
in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
And he began to build on the second of the second month ,
in the fourth year of his reign .
*
And this was Solomon '
s foundation for the construction of the house of God .
The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits ,
and the breadth twenty cubits .
*
And the porch which was in front was twenty cubits in length ,
in front of the house broadways ,
and the height was a hundred and twenty ;
and he overlaid it within with pure gold .
*
And the greater house he boarded with cypress-wood ,
which he overlaid with fine gold ,
and set on it palm-trees and chains .
*
And he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty ;
and the gold was gold of Parvaim .
*
And he covered the house ,
the beams ,
the threshold ,
and its walls ,
and its doors with gold ,
and engraved cherubim on the walls .
*
And he made the house of the most holy place ,
the length of which was according to the breadth of the house ,
twenty cubits ,
and its breadth twenty cubits ;
and he covered it with fine gold ,
amounting to six hundred talents .
*
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold .
And he covered the upper chambers with gold .
*
And in the house of the most holy place he made two cherubim of image work ,
and they overlaid them with gold .
*
And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long :
one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house ;
and the other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the other cherub .
*
And the wing of the other cherub of five cubits touched the wall of the house ;
and the other wing was five cubits joining the wing of the other cherub .
*
The wings of these cherubim spread forth were twenty cubits ;
and they stood on their feet ,
and their faces were toward the house .
*
And he made the veil of blue ,
and purple ,
and crimson ,
and byssus ,
and made cherubim upon it .
*
And before the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits long ;
and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits .
*
And he made chains [
as ]
in the oracle ,
and he put them on the top of the pillars ;
and he made a hundred pomegranates ,
and put them on the chains .
*
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple ,
one on the right hand and the other on the left ;
and he called the name of that on the right Jachin ,
and the name of that on the left Boaz .
