Contextual Overview
15 The inside walls were covered from floor to ceiling with cedar boards. The floor was made from pine boards. 16 A room thirty feet long was built in the back part of the Temple. This room, called the Most Holy Place, was separated from the rest of the Temple by cedar boards which reached from floor to ceiling. 17 The main room, the one in front of the Most Holy Place, was sixty feet long. 18 Everything inside the Temple was covered with cedar, which was carved with pictures of flowers and plants. A person could not see the stones of the wall, only the cedar. 19 Solomon prepared the inner room at the back of the Temple to keep the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord . 20 This inner room was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high. He covered this room with pure gold, and he also covered the altar of cedar. 21 He covered the inside of the Temple with pure gold, placing gold chains across the front of the inner room, which was also covered with gold. 22 So all the inside of the Temple, as well as the altar of the Most Holy Place, was covered with gold. 23 Solomon made two creatures from olive wood and placed them in the Most Holy Place. Each creature was fifteen feet tall 24 and had two wings. Each wing was seven and one-half feet long, so it was fifteen feet from the end of one wing to the end of the other.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the whole house he overlaid with gold,.... Both the holy place, and the most holy place:
until he had finished all the house; in this splendid and glorious manner:
also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle; the altar of incense, which stood just before the entrance into the oracle, or most holy place:
he overlaid with gold; he overlaid it all over with gold; hence it is called the golden altar, and was an emblem of the excellent and effectual mediation and intercession of Christ, Revelation 8:3. Agreeably to this account Eupolemus, an Heathen writer d testifies, that the whole house, from the floor to the tool, was covered with gold, as well as with cedar and cypress wood, that the stonework might not appear; and so the capitol at Rome, perhaps in imitation of this temple, its roofs and tiles were glided with gold e; a magnificent temple, like this, was at Upsal in Switzerland, as Olaus Magnus relates f.
d Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 34. p. 450. e Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 33. c. 3. Vid. Rycquium de Capitol. Roman. c. 16. f De Ritu Gent. Septent. l. 3. c. 5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lavish use of the precious metals in ornamentation was a special feature if early Oriental architecture. Recent researches have given reason to believe that two stages of the great temple at Borsippa - now known as the Bits Nimrud - had respectively a gold and a silver coating.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 6:22. The whole house he overlaid with gold — It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building.
