1
And it came
to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which
is
the second month, that he began to build the house of the
L
ORD
.
2
And the house which king Solomon built for the
L
ORD
, the length thereof
was
threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty
cubits
, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits
was
the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house;
and
ten cubits
was
the breadth thereof before the house.
4
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about,
against
the walls of the house round about,
both
of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
6
The nethermost chamber
was
five cubits broad, and the middle
was
six cubits broad, and the third
was
seven cubits broad: for without
in the wall
of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that
the beams
should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe
nor
any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8
The door for the middle chamber
was
in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
chamber
, and out of the middle into the third.
9
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10
And
then
he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house
with
timber of cedar.
11
And the word of the
L
ORD
came to Solomon, saying,
12
Concerning
this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
13
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15
And he built the walls of the house within 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 holy
place
.
17
And the house, that
is
, the temple before it, was forty cubits
long
.
18
And the cedar of the house within
was
carved with knops and open 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
L
ORD
.
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 another in the midst of the house.
28
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31
And for the entering of the oracle he made doors
of
olive tree: the lintel
and
side posts
were
a fifth part
of the wall
.
32
The two doors also
were of
olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid
them
with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
33
So also made he for the door of the temple posts
of
olive tree, a fourth part
of the wall
.
34
And the two doors
were of
fir tree: the two leaves of the one door
were
folding, and the two leaves of the other door
were
folding.
35
And he carved
thereon
cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered
them
with gold fitted upon the carved work.
36
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the
L
ORD
laid, in the month Zif:
38
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which
is
the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
