2 Chronicles 3:5 In-Context

3 Now these are the measurements on which Solomon founded the building of the house of God. The first measurement was the length of sixty cubits and the breadth of twenty cubits.

4 And the porch that was in the front of the length was of twenty cubits, according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was one hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

5 And the greater house he covered with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

6 And he also covered the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

7 Thus did he cover the house, its beams, its posts, its walls, and its doors, with gold and engraved cherubim on the walls.
