1 Kings 6:15-28

[15] And he built  the walls  of the house  with boards  of cedar,  both the floor  of the house,  and the walls  of the cieling:  and he covered  them on the inside  with wood,  and covered  the floor  of the house  with planks  of fir.  [16] And he built  twenty  cubits  on the sides  of the house,  both  the floor  and the walls  with boards  of cedar:  he even built  them for it within,  even for the oracle,  even for the most  place. [17] And the house,  that is, the temple  it, was forty  cubits  [18] And the cedar  of the house  within  was carved  with knops  flowers:  all was cedar;  there was no stone  seen.  [19] And the oracle  he prepared  in  the house  within,  to set  there the ark  of the covenant  of the LORD.  [20] And the oracle  in the forepart  was twenty  cubits  in length,  and twenty  cubits  in breadth,  and twenty  cubits  in the height  thereof: and he overlaid  it with pure  gold;  and so covered  the altar  which was of cedar.  [21] So Solomon  overlaid  the house  within  with pure  gold:  and he made a partition  by the chains  of gold  before  the oracle;  and he overlaid  it with gold.  [22] And the whole house  he overlaid  with gold,  until he had finished  all the house:  also the whole altar  that was by the oracle  he overlaid  with gold.  [23] And within the oracle  he made  two  cherubims  of olive  tree,  each ten  cubits  high.  [24] And five  cubits  was the one  wing  of the cherub,  and five  cubits  the other  wing  of the cherub:  from the uttermost part  of the one wing  unto the uttermost part  of the other  were ten  cubits.  [25] And the other  cherub  was ten  cubits:  both  the cherubims  were of one  measure  and one  size.  [26] The height  of the one  cherub  was ten  cubits,  and so was it of the other  cherub.  [27] And he set  the cherubims  within  the inner  house:  and they stretched forth  the wings  of the cherubims,  so that the wing  of the one  touched  the one wall,  and the wing  of the other  cherub  touched  the other  wall;  and their wings  touched  one  in the midst  of the house.  [28] And he overlaid  the cherubims  with gold.
