1 Kings 6:24-38 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

24. And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the tip of the one wing unto the tip of the other were ten cubits.

25. And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.

26. The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.

27. And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.

28. And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29. And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms.

30. And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, in the inner and outer rooms.

31. And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.

32. The two doors also were of olive wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.

33. So also he made for the door of the temple posts of olive wood, a fourth part of the wall.

34. And the two doors were of fir wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

35. And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.

36. And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.

37. In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Ziv:

38. And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its plans. So was he seven years in building it.
