Second
Chronicles: Chapter 3
1. THEN
Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Mo-ri-ah,
where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David
had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jeb-u-site.
2. And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the
fourth year of his reign.
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.
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.
5. And the greater house he ceiled with fir tree, which he overlaid with
fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6. And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the
gold was gold of Par-va-im.
7. He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls
thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cher-u-bims on the
walls.
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.
9. And the weight of the nails was fifty she-kels of gold. And he
overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10. And in the most holy house he made two cher-u-bims of image work,
and overlaid them with gold.
11. And the wings of the cher-u-bims 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.
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.
13. The wings of these cher-u-bims spread themselves forth twenty
cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
14. And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine
linen, and wrought cher-u-bims thereon.
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 the was five
cubits.
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.
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 Ja-chin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
