11. The word of the Lord came to Solomon:
12. “As for this temple you are building — if you walk in My statutes, observe My ordinances, and keep all My commands by walking in them, I will fulfill My promise to you, which I made to your father David.
13. I will live among the Israelites and not abandon My people Israel.”
14. When Solomon finished building the temple,
15. he paneled the interior temple walls with cedar boards; from the temple floor to the surface of the ceiling he overlaid the interior with wood. He also overlaid the floor with cypress boards.
