1	Then Solomon began# to build# the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared# unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared# in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. [where...: or, which was seen of David his father] [Ornan: also called, Araunah]
			2	And he began# to build# in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
			3	Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed# for the building# of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. [instructed: Heb. founded]
			4	And the porch that was in the front of the house , the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid# it within with pure gold.
			5	And the greater house he cieled# with fir tree, which he overlaid# with fine gold, and set# thereon palm trees and chains.
			6	And he garnished# the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. [garnished: Heb. covered]
			7	He overlaid# also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved# cherubims on the walls.
			8	And he made# the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid# it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
			9	And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid# the upper chambers with gold.
			10	And in the most holy house he made# two cherubims of image work, and overlaid# them with gold. [image...: or, (as some think) of moveable work]
			11	And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching# to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching# to the wing of the other cherub.
			12	And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching# to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also , joining to the wing of the other cherub.
			13	The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth# twenty cubits: and they stood# on their feet, and their faces were inward. [inward: or, toward the house]
			14	And he made# the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought# cherubims thereon. [wrought: Heb. caused to ascend]
			15	Also he made# before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. [high: Heb. long]
			16	And he made# chains, as in the oracle, and put# them on the heads of the pillars; and made# an hundred pomegranates, and put# them on the chains.
			17	And he reared up# the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called# the name of that on the right hand# # Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. [Jachin: that is, He shall establish] [Boaz: that is, In it is strength]
