Contextual Overview
15 and he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house, unto the cross-beams of the ceiling, he overlaid it with wood, on the inside, - and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of fir. 16 And he built twenty cubits, at the hinder part of the house, with boards of cedar, from the floor as far as the cross-beams, - and he built it within, for a shrine, even for the holy of holies; 17 but, forty cubits, was the house itself, - the same, was the temple, before the oracle. 18 And, the cedar for the house within, was carved with colocynths, and with festoons of flowers, - the whole, was cedar, there was no stone to be seen. 19 And, the shrine in the midst of the house within, made he ready, - for placing there, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. 20 And, the interior of the shrine, was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it, with pure gold, - and overlaid the altar with cedar. 21 Thus then did Solomon overlay the house within, with pure gold, - and he drew chains of gold across the front of the shrine, and overlaid it with gold; 22 yea, all the house, overlaid he with gold, until he had made all the house into one whole, - even all the altar that was by the shrine, overlaid he with gold. 23 And he made, within the shrine, two cherubim of wild olive wood, - ten cubits in height; 24 and, five cubits, was the one wing of the cherub, and, five cubits, the second wing of the cherub, - ten cubits, from the one end of his wings unto the other end of his wings.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold,.... The inside of the holy of holies with fine gold, which gold amounted to six hundred talents, 2 Chronicles 3:8; and these to 7,332,000 ducats of gold, or 3,045,000 pounds sterling:
and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; between the holy and the most holy, and were instead of a vail in the tabernacle of Moses between them; here was also a vail beside the partition made by chains of gold across the oracle; for the partition was a wall of the thickness of a cubit, as Maimonides b says; and in 2 Chronicles 3:14 express mention is made of a vail of blue, c. and in imitation of this had the Heathens their deities within vails c:
and he overlaid it with gold the partition wall.
b Hilchot Beth Habechirah, c. 4. sect. 2. c Apulei Metamorph. l. xi. p. 176.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The house - i. e., the main chamber.
The chains of gold - Omit “the.” Their object was to form a barrier between the holy place and the holy of holies.
