2 Chronicles 3:5-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. He put panels of pine on the walls of the main room. Then he covered them with pure gold. And he put designs of palm trees and chains in the gold.

6. He put gems in the Temple for beauty. And he used gold from Parvaim.

7. Solomon put gold on the Temple’s ceiling beams, doorposts, walls and doors. And he carved creatures with wings on the walls.

8. Then Solomon made the Most Holy Place. It was 30 feet long and 30 feet wide. It was as wide as the Temple. He covered its walls with about 46,000 pounds of pure gold.

9. The gold nails weighed over a pound. Solomon also covered the upper rooms with gold.

10. He made two creatures with wings for the Most Holy Place. He made them out of hot liquid gold.

11. The wings of the gold creatures were spread out. Together, they were 30 feet across. One wing of one creature touched the Temple wall. The wing was 7½ feet long. The creature’s other wing touched a wing of the second creature. This wing was also 7½ feet long.
