So their wings were touching each other in the center of the house. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-28.htm" target="_top"><b>28</b></a></span>He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.<p>       <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-29.htm" target="_top"><b>29</b></a></span>Then he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inner and outer <i>sanctuaries.</i> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-30.htm" target="_top"><b>30</b></a></span>He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inner and outer <i>sanctuaries.</i><p>       <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-31.htm" target="_top"><b>31</b></a></span>For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel <i>and</i> five-sided doorposts. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-32.htm" target="_top"><b>32</b></a></span>So <i>he made</i> two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.<p>       <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-33.htm" target="_top"><b>33</b></a></span>So also he made for the entrance of the nave four-sided doorposts of olive wood <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-34.htm" target="_top"><b>34</b></a></span>and two doors of cypress wood; the two leaves of the one door turned on pivots, and the two leaves of the other door turned on pivots. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-35.htm" target="_top"><b>35</b></a></span>He carved <i>on it</i> cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid <i>them</i> with gold evenly applied on the engraved work. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-36.htm" target="_top"><b>36</b></a></span>He built the inner court with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.<p>       <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-37.htm" target="_top"><b>37</b></a></span>In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the L<font size="1">ORD</font> was laid, in the month of Ziv. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/6-38.htm" target="_top"><b>38</b></a></span>In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its plans.
