9
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
10
And he built a floor over all the house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
11
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon,
12
As for this house, which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee, which I spoke to David thy father.
13
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
14
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roofs, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16
And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.
17
And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits long.
18
And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought, and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.
19
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
