1 Kings 6:26-37
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub. 27He placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the wings of the cherubim spread out so that the wing of the one was touching the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall. And their wings were touching end to end in the center of the house. 28He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29Then he carved all the surrounding walls of the house with engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, for the inner and outer sanctuaries.
30And he overlaid the floor of the house with gold, for the inner and outer sanctuaries.
31And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel, and five-sided doorposts.
32So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he overlaid the cherubim and the palm trees with gold.
33So too he made for the entrance of the main room four-sided doorposts of olive wood,
34and two doors of juniper wood; the two leaves of the one door turned on pivots, and the two leaves of the other door turned on pivots.
35He carved on it cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold plated on the carved work.
36And he built the inner courtyard with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.
