2 Chronicles 3:1-7

Then Solomon began to build the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah. This was where the LORD had appeared to David, Solomon’s father. Solomon built the Temple on the place David had prepared on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. Solomon began building in the second month of the fourth year he ruled Israel. Solomon used these measurements for building the Temple of God. It was ninety feet long and thirty feet wide, using the old measurement. The porch in front of the main room of the Temple was thirty feet long and thirty feet high. He covered the inside of the porch with pure gold. He put panels of pine on the walls of the main room and covered them with pure gold. Then he put designs of palm trees and chains in the gold. He decorated the Temple with gems and gold from Parvaim. He put gold on the Temple’s ceiling beams, doorposts, walls, and doors, and he carved creatures with wings on the walls.
