4. The porch in front of the Temple was 20 cubits long and 20 cubits high. He covered the inside of the porch with pure gold.

5. He put panels made of cypress wood on the walls of the larger room. Then he put pure gold over the cypress panels and then put pictures of palm trees and chains on the gold.

6. He put valuable stones in the Temple for beauty. The gold he used was gold from Parvaim.

7. He covered the inside of the Temple with the gold. He put the gold on the ceiling beams, doorposts, walls, and doors. He carved Cherub angels on the walls.
