1. 2 Chronicles 3:3-8 – The inside of the temple was ninety feet long and thirty feet wide, according to the older standards.4 Across the front of the temple was a porch thirty feet wide and thirty feet high [or 180 feet*]. The inside walls of the porch were covered with pure gold. 5 Solomon had the inside walls of the temple’s main room paneled first with pine and then with a layer of gold, and he had them decorated with carvings of palm trees and designs that looked like chains. 6 He used precious stones to decorate the temple, and he used gold imported from Parvaim 7 to decorate the ceiling beams, the doors, the door frames, and the walls. Solomon also had the workers carve designs of winged creatures into the walls. 8 The most holy place was thirty feet square, and its walls were covered with almost twenty-five tons of fine gold.
