Contextual Overview
1 Solomon began building the Lord 's Temple at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared to David, Solomon's father. This was the place David had prepared for the Temple. It had been the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 2 Solomon started to build on the second day of the second month of his fourth year as king of Israel. 3 These are the measurements he used for building the foundation of God's Temple, using the old cubit. The foundation was 60 cubits long and 20 cubits wide. 4 The porch in front of the Temple was 20 cubits long and 20 cubits high. He covered the inside of the porch with pure gold. 5 He put panels made of cypress wood on the walls of the larger room. Then he put pure gold over the cypress panels and then put pictures of palm trees and chains on the gold. 6 He put valuable stones in the Temple for beauty. The gold he used was gold from Parvaim. 7 He covered the inside of the Temple with the gold. He put the gold on the ceiling beams, doorposts, walls, and doors. He carved Cherub angels on the walls. 8 Then he made the Most Holy Place. This room was 20 cubits long and 20 cubits wide. It was as wide as the Temple was. He put pure gold on the walls of the Most Holy Place. The gold weighed about 22 1/2 tons. 9 The gold nails weighed 1 1/4 pounds. He covered the upper rooms with gold.
