Chapter 6
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
And
for
the
house
he
made
windows
of
narrow
lights.
5
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:
6
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.
7
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
axe
nor
any
tool
of
iron
heard
in
the
house,
while
it
was
in
building.
8
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.
9
So
he
built
the
house,
and
finished
it;
and
covered
the
house
with
beams
and
boards
of
cedar.
10
And
then
he
built
chambers
against
all
the
house,
five
cubits
high:
and
they
rested
on
the
house
with
timber
of
cedar.
11
And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Solomon,
saying,
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:
13
And
I
will
dwell
among
the
children
of
Israel,
and
will
not
forsake
my
people
Israel.
14
So
Solomon
built
the
house,
and
finished
it.
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
cieling:
and
he
covered
them
on
the
inside
with
wood,
and
covered
the
floor
of
the
house
with
planks
of
fir.
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.
17
And
the
house,
that
is,
the
temple
before
it,
was
forty
cubits
long.
18
And
the
cedar
of
the
house
within
was
carved
with
knops
and
open
flowers:
all
was
cedar;
there
was
no
stone
seen.
19
And
the
oracle
he
prepared
in
the
house
within,
to
set
there
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord.
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.
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.
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.
23
And
within
the
oracle
he
made
two
cherubims
of
olive
tree,
each
ten
cubits
high.
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.
25
And
the
other
cherub
was
ten
cubits:
both
the
cherubims
were
of
one
measure
and
one
size.
26
The
height
of
the
one
cherub
was
ten
cubits,
and
so
was
it
of
the
other
cherub.
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.
28
And
he
overlaid
the
cherubims
with
gold.
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.
30
And
the
floor
of
the
house
he
overlaid
with
gold,
within
and
without.
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.
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.
33
So
also
made
he
for
the
door
of
the
temple
posts
of
olive
tree,
a
fourth
part
of
the
wall.
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.
35
And
he
carved
thereon
cherubims
and
palm
trees
and
open
flowers:
and
covered
them
with
gold
fitted
upon
the
carved
work.
36
And
he
built
the
inner
court
with
three
rows
of
hewed
stone,
and
a
row
of
cedar
beams.
37
In
the
fourth
year
was
the
foundation
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
laid,
in
the
month
Zif:
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.
