2 Chronicles 3
- 1
- Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at
Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in
the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
- 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 cieled 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 Parvaim.
- 7
- He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and
the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims 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 shekels of gold.
And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
- 10
- And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of
image work, and overlaid them with gold.
- 11
- And the wings of the cherubims 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 cherubims spread themselves forth
twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
- 14
- And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson,
and fine linen, and wrought cherubims 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 them 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 Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
