1 Chronicles 28:11Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the mercy seat.1 Chronicles 28:12The plans contained everything David had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of the dedicated things,1 Chronicles 28:13for the divisions of the priests and Levites, for all the work of service in the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD:1 Chronicles 28:14the weight of all the gold articles for every kind of service; the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of service;1 Chronicles 28:15the weight of the gold lampstands and their lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; the weight of each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;1 Chronicles 28:16the weight of gold for each table of showbread, and of silver for the silver tables;1 Chronicles 28:17the weight of the pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls, and pitchers; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;1 Chronicles 28:18the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.1 Chronicles 28:19“All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”1 Chronicles 29:1Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.1 Chronicles 29:2Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.1 Chronicles 29:3Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:1 Chronicles 29:19And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”2 Chronicles 2:2So he conscripted 70,000 porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.2 Chronicles 2:4Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.2 Chronicles 2:5The house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.2 Chronicles 2:6But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?2 Chronicles 2:17Solomon numbered all the foreign men in the land of Israel following the census his father David had conducted, and there were found to be 153,600 in all.2 Chronicles 2:18Solomon made 70,000 of them porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.2 Chronicles 3:1Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.2 Chronicles 3:2Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.2 Chronicles 3:3The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.2 Chronicles 3:4The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.2 Chronicles 3:5He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.2 Chronicles 3:6He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.2 Chronicles 3:7He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.2 Chronicles 3:8Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.2 Chronicles 3:9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.2 Chronicles 3:10In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.2 Chronicles 3:11The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.2 Chronicles 3:12The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.2 Chronicles 3:13So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.2 Chronicles 3:14He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.2 Chronicles 3:15In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.2 Chronicles 3:16He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.2 Chronicles 3:17Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.2 Chronicles 4:2He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.2 Chronicles 4:3Below the rim, figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.2 Chronicles 4:4The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.2 Chronicles 4:5It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.2 Chronicles 4:6He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests used the Sea for washing.2 Chronicles 4:7He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.2 Chronicles 4:9He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.2 Chronicles 4:10He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.2 Chronicles 4:12the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;2 Chronicles 4:13the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);2 Chronicles 4:18Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.2 Chronicles 4:19Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;2 Chronicles 4:20the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;2 Chronicles 4:21the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;2 Chronicles 4:22the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of pure gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.2 Chronicles 5:1So all the work that Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of God.2 Chronicles 5:2At that time Solomon assembled in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.2 Chronicles 5:3So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.2 Chronicles 5:4When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,2 Chronicles 5:5and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.2 Chronicles 5:6There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.2 Chronicles 5:7Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.2 Chronicles 5:8For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.2 Chronicles 5:9The poles of the ark extended far enough that their ends were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
