And he began to build on the second of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

And this was Solomon's foundation for the construction of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4
And the porch which was in front was twenty cubits in length, in front of the house broadways, and the height was a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5
And the greater house he boarded with cypress-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm-trees and chains.
