19. He prepared the inner sanctuary at the far end of the Temple, where the Ark of the lord’s Covenant would be placed.
20. This inner sanctuary was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. He overlaid the inside with solid gold. He also overlaid the altar made of cedar.
21. Then Solomon overlaid the rest of the Temple’s interior with solid gold, and he made gold chains to protect the entrance to the Most Holy Place.
22. So he finished overlaying the entire Temple with gold, including the altar that belonged to the Most Holy Place.
23. He made two cherubim of wild olive wood, each 15 feet tall, and placed them in the inner sanctuary.
