Solomon & The Temple

And he ouerlayde all the house with gold, vntill all the house was made perfite. also he couered the whole altar, that was before the oracle, with golde.

And within the oracle he made two Cherubims of oliue tree, ten cubites hie.

The wing also of the one Cherub was fiue cubites, and the wing of the other Cherub was fiue cubites: from the vttermost part of one of his wings vnto the vttermost part of the other of his wings, were ten cubites.

Also the other Cherub was of ten cubites: both the Cherubims were of one measure and one sise.

For the height of the one Cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other Cherub.

And he put the Cherubims within the inner house, and the Cherubims stretched out their wings, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other Cherub touched the other wall: and their other wings touched one another in the middes of the house.

And he ouerlaied the Cherubims with golde.

And he carued all the walles of the house round about with grauen figures of Cherubims and of Palmetrees, and grauen flowres within and without.

And the floore of the house hee couered with golde within and without.

And in the entring of the oracle he made two doores of oliue tree: and the vpper post and side postes were fiue square.

The two doores also were of oliue tree, and he graued them with grauing of Cherubims and palme trees, and grauen floures, and couered them with golde, and layed thin golde vpon the Cherubims and vpon the palme trees.

And so made he for the doore of the Temple, postes of oliue tree foure square.

But the two doores were of firre tree, the two sides of the one doore were round, and the two sides of the other doore were round.

And he graued Cherubims, and palme trees, and carued floures and couered the carued worke with golde, finely wrought.

And hee built the court within with three rowes of hewed stone, and one rowe of beames of cedar.

In the fourth yeere was the foundation of the house of the Lord layed in the moneth of Zif:

And in the eleuenth yeere in the moneth of Bul, (which is the eight moneth) hee finished the house with all the furniture thereof, and in euery point: so was he seuen yeere in building it.

Bvt Salomon was building his owne house thirteene yeeres, and finished all his house.

He built also an house called the forest of Lebanon, an hundreth cubites long, and fiftie cubites broad, and thirtie cubites hie, vpon foure rowes of cedar pillars, and cedar beames were layed vpon the pillars.

And it was couered aboue with cedar vpon the beames, that lay on the fourtie and fiue pillars, fifteene in a rowe.

And the windowes were in three rowes, and windowe was against windowe in three rankes.

And all the doores, and the side postes with the windowes were foure square, and windowe was ouer against windowe in three rankes.

And he made a porche of pillars fiftie cubites long, and thirtie cubites broade, and the porch was before them, euen before them were thirtie pillars.

Then he made a porch for the throne, where he iudged, euen a porch of iudgement, and it was sieled with cedar from pauement to pauement.

And in his house, where he dwelt, was an other hall more inwarde then the porche which was of the same worke. Also Salomon made an house for Pharaohs daughter ( whom he had taken to wife) like vnto this porche.
