In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.
The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
The portico in front of the main hall of the house was twenty cubits long, matching the width of the house, and it projected ten cubits out from the front of the house.
He made windows for the house, recessed and latticed.
Against the wall of the house he built a structure running all around it, enclosing the walls of the house on every side, both the main hall and the inner sanctuary; and he made side chambers all around.
The lowest story was five cubits wide, the middle one six cubits, and the third seven cubits, for he set recesses in the outside wall of the house all around, so that the beams would not be inserted into the walls of the house.
When the house was built, it was built of stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or ax or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built.
The entrance to the lowest story was on the south side of the house; a winding stairway led up to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third.[^ The Hebrew text reads "middle story"; "lowest" follows the ancient versions.]
So he built the house and finished it, and he roofed the house with beams and planks of cedar.
He built the side structure against the whole house, each story five cubits high, and it was joined to the house with timbers of cedar.
Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon:
"Concerning this house you are building: if you walk in my statutes and carry out my judgments and keep all my commandments by walking in them, then I will establish with you the word I spoke to David your father.
I will dwell among the Israelites, and I will not forsake my people Israel."
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
He lined the inner walls of the house with cedar boards, paneling them with wood from the floor of the house to the rafters of the ceiling, and he covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the house with cedar boards from floor to ceiling, and within he built the inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
The main hall in front of the inner sanctuary was forty cubits long.
The cedar within the house was carved with gourds and open flowers; everything was cedar, and no stone could be seen.
He prepared the inner sanctuary within the house, to place there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar of cedar.
Solomon overlaid the interior of the house with pure gold, and he stretched gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which he had overlaid with gold.
He overlaid the whole house with gold, until the entire house was finished, and he also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
One wing of the cherub was five cubits and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.
The second cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same measurements and the same form.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other.
He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room. Their wings were spread out, so that the wing of the one touched one wall and the wing of the other touched the other wall, while in the middle of the room their wings touched wing to wing.
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
On all the walls of the house, all around, both in the inner and the outer room, he carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, in both the inner and the outer room.
For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, with a lintel and five-sided doorposts.
On the two olive-wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold, hammering the gold over the cherubim and the palm trees.
In the same way he made doorposts of olive wood, four-sided, for the entrance to the main hall,
and two doors of cypress wood, each door having two leaves that turned on their hinges.
He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and overlaid them with gold, evenly applied over the carving.
He built the inner court with three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.
The foundation of the house of the LORD was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.
And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul—that is, the eighth month—the house was finished, down to every detail and every specification. So he built it in seven years.
