Solomon Builds the Temple
3 Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had designated, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.(A) 2 He began to build on the second day of the second month of the fourth year of his reign. 3 These are Solomon’s measurements[a] for building the house of God: the length, in cubits of the old standard, was sixty cubits and the width twenty cubits. 4 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, across the width of the house,[b] and its height was one hundred twenty cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.

9 “And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve him with single mind and willing heart, for the Lord searches every mind and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will abandon you forever.(C) 10 Take heed, now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary; be strong, and act.”(D)
