3:1 Then
Solomon
began
to
build
the
house
of
the
LORD
in
Jerusalem
on
Mount
Moriah,
where
the
LORD
had
appeared
to
David
his
father,
at
the
place
that
David
had
appointed,
on
the
threshing
floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
3:2 He
began
to
build
in
the
second
month
of
the
fourth
year
of
his
reign.
3:3 These
are
Solomon's
measurements
for
building
the
house
of
God:
the
length,
in
cubits
of
the
old
standard,
was
sixty
cubits,
and
the
breadth
twenty
cubits.
3:4 The
vestibule
in
front
of
the
nave
of
the
house
was
twenty
cubits
long,
equal
to
the
width
of
the
house,
and
its
height
was
120
cubits.
He
overlaid
it
on
the
inside
with
pure
gold.
3:5 The
nave
he
lined
with
cypress
and
covered
it
with
fine
gold
and
made
palms
and
chains
on
it.
3:6 He
adorned
the
house
with
settings
of
precious
stones.
The
gold
was
gold
of
Parvaim.
3:7 So
he
lined
the
house
with
gold--its
beams,
its
thresholds,
its
walls,
and
its
doors--and
he
carved
cherubim
on
the
walls.
3:8 And
he
made
the
Most
Holy
Place.
Its
length,
corresponding
to
the
breadth
of
the
house,
was
twenty
cubits,
and
its
breadth
was
twenty
cubits.
He
overlaid
it
with
600
talents
of
fine
gold.
3:9 The
weight
of
gold
for
the
nails
was
fifty
shekels.
And
he
overlaid
the
upper
chambers
with
gold.
3:10 In
the
Most
Holy
Place
he
made
two
cherubim
of
wood
and
overlaid
them
with
gold.
3:11 The
wings
of
the
cherubim
together
extended
twenty
cubits:
one
wing
of
the
one,
of
five
cubits,
touched
the
wall
of
the
house,
and
its
other
wing,
of
five
cubits,
touched
the
wing
of
the
other
cherub;
3:12 and
of
this
cherub,
one
wing,
of
five
cubits,
touched
the
wall
of
the
house,
and
the
other
wing,
also
of
five
cubits,
was
joined
to
the
wing
of
the
first
cherub.
3:13 The
wings
of
these
cherubim
extended
twenty
cubits.
The
cherubim
stood
on
their
feet,
facing
the
nave.
3:14 And
he
made
the
veil
of
blue
and
purple
and
crimson
fabrics
and
fine
linen,
and
he
worked
cherubim
on
it.
3:15 In
front
of
the
house
he
made
two
pillars
thirty-five
cubits
high,
with
a
capital
of
five
cubits
on
the
top
of
each.
3:16 He
made
chains
like
a
necklace
and
put
them
on
the
tops
of
the
pillars,
and
he
made
a
hundred
pomegranates
and
put
them
on
the
chains.
3:17 He
set
up
the
pillars
in
front
of
the
temple,
one
on
the
south,
the
other
on
the
north;
that
on
the
south
he
called
Jachin,
and
that
on
the
north
Boaz.
