14. And Solomon built the house and finished it.
15. And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the roof; he overlaid them on the inside with wood, and overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
16. And he built twenty cubits of the innermost part of the house, both floor and walls, with boards of cedar; and he built them for it within, to be the oracle, the most holy place.
17. And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18. And the cedar of the house within was carved with colocynths and half-open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19. And he prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
20. And the oracle within was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the cedar-wood altar--
21. and Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and shut off the oracle in front with chains of gold, and overlaid it with gold.
22. And the whole house he overlaid with gold, the whole house entirely; also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23. And he made in the oracle two cherubim of olive-wood, ten cubits high;
24. and one wing of the cherub was five cubits, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing;
25. and the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26. The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so of the other cherub.
27. And he set the cherubim in the midst of the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched, wing to wing, in the midst of the house.
28. And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
