En hij bouwde achter in het huis een cederen wand twintig el lang, van den vloer af tot het dak toe, en bouwde aldaar van binnen de godgewijde plaats tot een allerheiligste.
Daartoe bouwde hij twintig ellen met cederen planken aan de zijden van het huis, van den vloer af tot de wanden; dit bouwde hij Hem van binnen tot een aanspraakplaats, tot het heilige der heiligen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house,.... At the end or extremity of it, as the Targum; that is, he built the most holy place, which was twenty two cubits long, at the end of the holy place, which he wainscotted as the other:
both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar; or from the floor, including that, to the walls on each side, from wall to wall, and taking in them, they were all lined with cedar wood:
he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place]; which explains what building is spoken of, and that the inside of that was covered with cedar from bottom to top.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The meaning is, that at the distance of 20 cubits, measured along the side walls of the house from the end wall, Solomon constructed a partition, which reached from the floor to the ceiling and had a doorway in it. He thus made within the house, a sanctuary for a holy of holies.
