1 Kings 6:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ The inside of the temple was covered with cedar wood. Gourds and open flowers were carved on the wood. Everything was cedar. There wasn’t any stone showing anywhere.

¹⁹ Solomon prepared the Most Holy Room inside the temple. That’s where the ark of the covenant of the Lord would be placed. ²⁰ The Most Holy Room was 30 feet long. It was 30 feet wide. And it was 30 feet high. Solomon covered the inside of it with pure gold. He prepared the cedar altar for burning incense. He covered it with gold.
