I due battenti erano di legno di ulivo. Su di essi fece scolpire figure di cherubini di palme e di fiori sbocciati e li ricopr doro, stendendo loro sui cherubini e sulle palme.
E sopra quelle due reggi di legno di ulivo, fece intagliare delle figure di Cherubini, e di palme, e di fiori aperti, e li coperse d’oro; e distese l’oro sopra i Cherubini, e sopra le palme.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The two doors also [were of] olive tree,.... The two leaves of the door, as before observed, repeated for the sake of the ornament of them, as follows:
and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims, and palm trees, and open flowers; as upon the walls, 1 Kings 6:29;
and overlaid [them] with gold; the two doors:
and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees; thin plates of gold.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The two doors - i. e., two leaves which met in the middle, as in the Assyrian gate-ways generally.
Spread gold - The doors were not simply sheeted with gold, like the floors 1 Kings 6:30, but had the gold hammered to fit the forms of the palms, cherubs, and flowers carved upon them. 1 Kings 6:35. Such hammered metal-work, generally in bronze, has been found in tolerable abundance among the Assyrian remains.
