1 Kings 6:18-23

¹⁸There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.

¹⁹He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of the LORD’s covenant there.

²⁰Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.

²¹So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.

²²He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.

²³In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
