2 Chronicles 3
King James Version
3 Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub 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.
12 And one 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.
13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

Solomon Builds the Temple(A)
3 Now (B)Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at (C)Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where [a]the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of (D)Ornan[b] the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 This is the foundation (E)which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits. 4 And the (F)vestibule that was in front of [c]the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the height was [d]one hundred and twenty. He overlaid the inside with pure gold. 5 (G)The larger [e]room he (H)paneled with cypress which he overlaid with fine gold, and he carved palm trees and chainwork on it. 6 And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim. 7 He also overlaid the house—the beams and doorposts, its walls and doors—with gold; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 And he made the (I)Most Holy Place. Its length was according to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. He overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold. 9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold; and he overlaid the upper (J)area with gold. 10 (K)In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim, fashioned by carving, and overlaid them with gold. 11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in overall length: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub; 12 one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing also was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim spanned twenty cubits overall. They stood on their feet, and they faced inward. 14 And he made the (L)veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and wove cherubim into it.
15 Also he made in front of the [f]temple (M)two pillars [g]thirty-five cubits [h]high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 16 He made wreaths of chainwork, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on top of the pillars; and he made (N)one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the wreaths of chainwork. 17 Then he (O)set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand [i]Jachin, and the name of the one on the left [j]Boaz.

Salomo bouwt de tempel
3 Toen begon Salomo met het bouwen van de tempel in Jeruzalem op de berg Moria, waar de Heer naar zijn vader David was gekomen. Hij bouwde hem op de plek die David daarvoor had uitgezocht: op de dorsvloer van Ornan.[a] 2 Hij begon met bouwen op de tweede dag van de tweede maand. Hij was toen vier jaar koning van Israël.
3 De tempel zag er als volgt uit: 60 el (27 m) lang, 20 el (9 m) breed, gemeten met de oude el.[b] 4 De voorhal aan de voorkant van de voorzaal van de tempel was 20 el (9 m) lang, dus net zo breed als de tempel, en 120 el (55 m) hoog. De binnenkant van de hal bedekte hij helemaal met zuiver goud. 5 De binnenkant van de voorzaal[c] bedekte hij helemaal met cipressenhout. Over het hout kwam een dun laagje zuiver goud. In het goud graveerde hij palmbomen en gedraaide kettingen. 6 Ook werd de zaal versierd met edelstenen. Het goud was afkomstig uit Parvaïm. 7 Zo bedekte hij de voorzaal, de balken, de drempels en deurposten, de wanden en deuren met goud. Op de wanden graveerde hij engelen.
8 Verder maakte hij de achterzaal: de allerheiligste kamer. Die was net zo breed als de voorzaal, namelijk 20 el. Hij bedekte hem helemaal met 600 talenten zuiver goud (1800 kilo). 9 Van 50 sikkels goud (550 gram) maakte hij spijkers om alles mee vast te zetten. Ook de bovenkamers bedekte hij met goud. 10 In de allerheiligste kamer maakte hij van hout twee engelen en bedekte ze met goud. 11 De vleugels van de engelen waren samen 20 el (9 m) lang. 12 Van elke engel raakte de ene vleugel de muur en de andere vleugel raakte de vleugel van de andere engel. Elke vleugel was 5 el (2,25 m). 13 Samen waren de vleugels dus 20 el (9 m) lang. De engelen stonden op hun voeten, met hun gezicht naar de ingang. 14 Hij weefde een gordijn van blauw, rood en paars draad en fijn linnen. Daarop werden engelen afgebeeld. 15 Ook maakte hij voor de tempel twee pilaren van 35 el (15,75 m) hoog. Daarop stond een sierstuk van 5 el (2,25 m) hoog. 16 Hij maakte gedraaide kettingen (net zulke als hij in de allerheiligste kamer gegraveerd had) rond de bovenrand met daaraan 100 gouden granaatappels. 17 Hij zette de pilaren vóór de tempel neer, de één rechts van de ingang en de ander links van de ingang. De rechter pilaar noemde hij Jachin (= 'vastzetten'), de linker pilaar noemde hij Boaz (= 'kracht').
