Contextual Overview

15 The floor of the temple was made out of pine, and the walls were lined with cedar from floor to ceiling. 16 The most holy place was in the back of the temple, and it was thirty feet square. Cedar boards standing from floor to ceiling separated it from the rest of the temple. 17 The temple's main room was sixty feet long, and it was in front of the most holy place. 18 The inside walls were lined with cedar to hide the stones, and the cedar was decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. 19 The sacred chest was kept in the most holy place. 20This room was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high, and it was lined with pure gold. There were also gold chains across the front of the most holy place. The inside of the temple, as well as the cedar altar in the most holy place, was covered with gold. 23 Solomon had two statues of winged creatures made from olive wood to put in the most holy place. Each creature was fifteen feet tall 24and fifteen feet across. They had two wings, and the wings were seven and a half feet long. 27 Solomon put them next to each other in the most holy place. Their wings were spread out and reached across the room. 28 The creatures were also covered with gold.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without. Both the floor of the holy place, and of the holy of holies; so the street of the new Jerusalem is said to be pure gold, Revelation 21:21; this expresses the purity and magnificence of it, particularly the holy conversation of them that dwell in the church, in heaven, signified hereby.
