Porro in Jerusalem nati sunt ei filii, Simmaa, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon, quatuor de Bethsabee filia Ammiel,
Domum quoque maiorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis et laminas auri obryzi affixit per totum; scalpsitque in eis palmas et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The greater house - i. e., the holy place, or main chamber of the temple, intervening between the porch and the holy of holies (so in 2 Chronicles 3:7).
He cieled with fir tree - Rather, “he covered,” or “lined.” The reference is not to the ceiling, which was entirely of wood, but to the walls and floor, which were of stone, with a covering of planks (marginal reference). The word translated “fir” bears probably in this place, not the narrow meaning which it has in 2 Chronicles 2:8, where it is opposed to cedar, but a wider one, in which cedar is included.
Palm trees and chains - See 1 Kings 6:29. The “chains” are supposed to be garlands or festoons.
