1 Kings 6:13-18

¹³I will live among the Israeli people, in this temple, and I will never abandon them.”

¹⁴Solomon's workers finished building the temple.

¹⁵On the inside, they lined/covered the walls with cedar boards. They lined/covered them from the floor to the ceiling. They made the floor from cypress boards.

¹⁶Inside the back part of the temple they built an inner room, called the Very Holy Place. It was 30 feet long. All the walls of this room were lined with cedar boards.

¹⁷In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.

¹⁸The cedar boards on the walls inside the temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. The walls were completely covered with cedar boards, with the result that the stones of the walls behind them could not be seen.
