11_1KI_06_01 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 LORD .
11_1KI_06_02 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD , the length thereof [ was ] threescore cubits , And the breadth thereof twenty [ cubits ] , And the height thereof thirty cubits .
11_1KI_06_03 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 .
11_1KI_06_04 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights .
11_1KI_06_05 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 :
11_1KI_06_06 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 .
11_1KI_06_07 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 ax [ nor ] any tool of iron heard in the house , while it was in building .
11_1KI_06_08 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 .
11_1KI_06_09 So he built the house , And finished it ; And covered the house with beams And boards of cedar .
11_1KI_06_10 And [ Then ] he built chambers against all the house , five cubits high : And they rested on the house [ with ] timber of cedar .
11_1KI_06_11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon , saying ,
11_1KI_06_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 :
11_1KI_06_13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel , And will not forsake my people Israel .
11_1KI_06_14 So Solomon built the house , And finished it .
11_1KI_06_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 ceiling : [ And ] he covered [ them ] on the inside with wood , And covered the floor of the house with planks of fir .
11_1KI_06_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 ] .
11_1KI_06_17 And the house , that [ Is ] , the temple before it , was forty cubits [ long ] .
11_1KI_06_18 And the cedar of the house within [ was ] carved with knops And open flowers : all [ was ] cedar ; there was no stone seen .
11_1KI_06_19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within , to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims [ of ] olive tree , [ each ] ten cubits high .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_25 And the other cherub [ was ] ten cubits : Both the cherubims [ were ] of one measure And one size .
11_1KI_06_26 the height of the one cherub [ was ] ten cubits , And So [ was it ] of the other cherub .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold , within And without .
11_1KI_06_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 ] .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts [ of ] olive tree , A fourth part [ of the wall ] .
11_1KI_06_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 .
11_1KI_06_35 And he carved [ thereon ] cherubims And palm trees And open flowers : And covered [ them ] with gold fitted upon the carved work .
11_1KI_06_36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone , And A row of cedar beams .
11_1KI_06_37 in the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid , in the month Zif :
11_1KI_06_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 .
