(See Gill on 2 Chronicles 3:1).

2 Chronicles 3:5 In-Context

3 These are Solomon's foundations for building God's temple: the length was 90 feet, and the width 30 feet.
4 The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was 30 feet wide; its height was 30 feet; he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold.
5 The larger room he paneled with cypress wood, overlaid with fine gold, and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was the gold of Parvaim.
7 He overlaid the temple-the beams, the thresholds, its walls and doors-with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
