2Chronicles - Chapter 3 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where {cf15I the LORD} appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
  • 2. And he began to build in the second {cf15I day} of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
  • 3. Now these {cf15I are the things wherein} Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure {cf15I was} threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
  • 4. And the porch that {cf15I was} in the front {cf15I of the house}, the length {cf15I of it was} according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height {cf15I was} an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
  • 5. And the greater house he cieled 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 {cf15I 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 graved cherubims on the walls.
  • 8. And he made the most holy house, the length whereof {cf15I was} according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, {cf15I amounting} to six hundred talents.
  • 9. And the weight of the nails {cf15I was} fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
  • 10. And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
  • 11. And the wings of the cherubims {cf15I were} twenty cubits long: one wing {cf15I of the one cherub was} five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing {cf15I was likewise} five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
  • 12. And {cf15I one} wing of the other cherub {cf15I was} five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing {cf15I was} five cubits {cf15I also}, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
  • 13. The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces {cf15I were} inward.
  • 14. And he made the vail {cf15I of} blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
  • 15. Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that {cf15I was} on the top of each of them {cf15I was} five cubits.
  • 16. And he made chains, {cf15I as} in the oracle, and put {cf15I them} on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put {cf15I them} on the chains.
  • 17. And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
