1 THEN Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where 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 day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 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 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 was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 And the weight of the nails 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 were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits 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 were inward.
14 And he made the vail 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 was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put 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.

1Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Ierusalem in Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid had prepared in the threshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.

2And he began to build in the second day of the second moneth, in the fourth yeere of his reigne.

3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubites after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twentie cubites.

4And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was atcording to the breadth of the house, twentie cubites, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he ouerlaid it within, with pure gold.

5And the greater house hee sieled with firre tree, which he ouerlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palme trees and chaines.

6And he garnished the house with precious stones for beautie, and the gold was gold of Paruaim.

7Hee ouerlaid also the house, the beames, the postes and the wals thereof, and the doores thereof with gold, and graued Cherubims on the walles.

8And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was, according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twentie cubits: and he ouerlaid it with fine gold amounting to sixe hundred talents.

9And the weight of the nailes was fiftie shekels of gold: and he ouerlaide the vpper chambers with gold.

10And in the most holy place hee made two Cherubims of image work, and ouerlaid them with gold.

11 And the wings of the Cherubims were twentie cubites long: one wing of the one Cherub was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise fiue cubites, reaching to the wing of the other Cherub:

12And one wing of the other Cherub was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was fiue cubites also, ioyning to the wing of the other Cherub.

13The wings of these Cherubims spread themselues forth twentie cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

14 And he made the vaile of blue and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought Cherubims thereon.

15Also hee made before the house, two pillars of thirtie and fiue cubites high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them, was fiue cubites.

16And he made chaines, as in the Oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars, and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chaines.

17And he reared vp 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, Iachin, and the name of that on the left, Boaz.

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, which had been pointed out to his father David, on the spot which David had selected, the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.

3 These were the specifications laid down by Solomon for building the house of God: the length was sixty cubits according to the old measure, and the width was twenty cubits;

4 the porch which lay before the nave along the width of the house was also twenty cubits, and it was twenty cubits high. He overlaid its interior with pure gold.

5 The nave he overlaid with cypress wood which he covered with fine gold, embossing on it palms and chains.

6 He also decorated the building with precious stones.

7 The house, its beams and thresholds, as well as its walls and its doors, he overlaid with gold, and he engraved cherubim upon the walls. (The gold was from Parvaim.)

8 He also made the room of the holy of holies. Its length corresponded to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid it with fine gold to the amount of six hundred talents.

9 The weight of the nails was fifty gold shekels. The upper chambers he likewise covered with gold.

10 For the room of the holy of holies he made two cherubim of carved workmanship, which were then overlaid with gold.

11 The wings of the cherubim spanned twenty cubits:

12 one wing of each cherub, five cubits in length, extended to a wall of the building, while the other wing, also five cubits in length, touched the corresponding wing of the second cherub.

13 The combined wingspread of the two cherubim was thus twenty cubits. They stood upon their own feet, facing toward the nave.

14 He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson and fine linen, and had cherubim embroidered upon it.

15 In front of the building he set two columns thirty-five cubits high; the capital topping each was of five cubits.

16 He worked out chains in the form of a collar with which he encircled the capitals of the columns, and he made a hundred pomegranates which he set on the chains.

17 He set up the columns to correspond with the nave, one for the right side and the other for the left, and he called the one to the right Jachin and the one to the left Boaz.

v 1,2. See 1 Ki. 6 for most information.  Add here, this was built on the same spot the Lord appeared unto David and he sacrificed  on the threshing floor of Ornan,          2 Sam. 24:18. Abraham offered Isaac here. Also it was the second day of the month.

 

 

 

 

 

v 5. 1 Ki. 6 says the walls were cedar, which seems more accurate than fir, which was only on the floor. Verse 6 adds that the house was adorned with precious stones.

 

 

v  8,9. Add the weight of the gold lining the most holy place was 23 tons, and the weight of the gold nails was one and one fourth pounds, so very few were used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v  14. 1 Ki. 6 only mentioned the gold plated doors. Apparently this blue, purple and crimson fine linen veil was inside the bi-fold doors. Some erroneoulsy sayings states that the doors replaced the veil.
