2 Chronicles 3:5 In-Context

3 Now these are the measurements which Solomon instructed for the building of the house of God: The length by cubits, according to the ancient measure, was threescore cubits and the breadth twenty cubits.

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

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

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

7 He overlaid also the house -- the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof -- with gold, and engraved cherubims on the walls.
