2 Chronicles 3:3 In-Context

1 Then Shlomo began to build the house of the LORD at Yerushalayim on Mount Moriyah, where [the LORD] appeared to David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing floor of Ornan the Yevusi.

2 He began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

3 Now these are the foundations which Shlomo laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

4 The porch that was before [the house], the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

5 The greater house he made a ceiling with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and worked thereon palm trees and chains.
