So Salomon began to buyld the house of the Lord in Ierusalem, in mount Moriah which had bene declared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid prepared in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.

2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

And he beganne to buylde in the seconde moneth and the second day, in the fourth yeere of his reigne.

3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

And these are the measures, whereon Salomon grounded to buylde the house of God: the length of cubites after the first measure was threescore cubites, and the breadth twenty cubites:

4 And the porch that was before the house, the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty. And he overlaid it inside with pure gold.

And the porch, that was before the length in the front of the breadth was twentie cubits, and the height was an hundreth and twentie, and he ouerlayd it within with pure golde.

5 And the greater house he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm trees and chains.

And the greater house he sieled with firre tree which he ouerlayd with good golde, and graued thereon palme trees and chaines.

6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty. And the gold was gold of Parvaim.

And hee ouerlayde the house with precious stone for beautie: and the golde was gold of Paruaim.

7 He also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls.

The house, I say, the beames, postes, and walles thereof and the doores thereof ouerlayde he with gold, and graued Cherubims vpon the walles.

8 And he made the most holy house; the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits. And he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

He made also the house of the most holy place: the length thereof was in the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twentie cubites: and he ouerlayde it with the best golde, of sixe hundreth talents.

9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

And the weight of the nayles was fiftie shekels of golde, and hee ouerlayde the chambers with golde.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and they overlaid them with gold.

And in the house of the most holy place he made two Cherubims wrought like children, and ouerlayd them with golde.

11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long; the wing of the one 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.

And the winges of the Cherubims were twentie cubites long: the one wing was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites, reaching to the wing of the other Cherub.

12 And the 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.

Likewise the wing of ye other Cherub was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites ioyning to the wing of the other Cherub.

13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits. And they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.

The wings of these Cherubims were spread abroade twentie cubites: they stoode on their feete, and their faces were toward the house.

14 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.

15 Also he made two pillars before the house of thirty-five cubits in length, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

And he made before the house two pillars of fiue and thirtie cubites hie: and the chapiter that was vpon the top of eche of them, was fiue cubites.
