Nagpatayo si Solomon ng Templo sa Jerusalem

At sinimulan na ni Solomon ang pagpapatayo ng templo ng Panginoon sa Jerusalem doon sa Bundok ng Moria, kung saan nagpakita ang Panginoon sa ama niyang si David. Doon niya ito ipinatayo sa giikan ni Arauna na Jebuseo, ang lugar na inihanda ni David. Sinimulan niya itong ipatayo noong ikalawang araw ng ikalawang buwan, nang ikaapat na taon ng paghahari niya.

Ang pundasyon ng templo ng Dios ay may taas na 90 talampakan at lapad na 30 talampakan. Ang balkonahe sa harapan ng templo ay 30 talampakan ang lapad, gaya ng lapad ng templo, at ang taas ay 30 talampakan din. Pinabalutan ni Solomon ang loob nito ng purong ginto.

Pinadingdingan niya ang bulwagan ng templo ng kahoy na sipres at pinabalutan ng purong ginto, at pinalamutian ng mga disenyo na palma at mga kadena. Nilagyan din niya ang templo ng mga palamuti na mamahaling bato at ginto na galing pa sa Parvaim. Pinabalutan niya ng ginto ang mga biga, hamba ng pintuan, mga dingding at mga pintuan. At pinaukitan niya ng kerubin ang mga dingding.

Ang Pinakabanal na Lugar ay may lapad na 30 talampakan at may haba na 30 talampakan din, na gaya ng lapad ng templo. Ang loob nitoʼy binalutan ng mga 21 toneladang ginto. Ang mga pako ay ginto na may timbang na kalahating kilo. Ang mga dingding sa itaas na bahagi ay binalutan din ng ginto.

10 Nagpagawa si Solomon sa loob ng Pinakabanal na Lugar ng dalawang kerubin at pinabalutan ito ng ginto. 11-13 Ang bawat kerubin ay may dalawang pakpak, at ang bawat pakpak ay may habang pitoʼt kalahating talampakan. Kaya ang kabuuang haba ng nakalukob na mga pakpak ng dalawang kerubin ay 30 talampakan. Ang kabilang dulo ng kanilang pakpak ay nagpapang-abot, at ang kabilang pakpak nito ay nakadikit sa dingding. 14 Ang kurtina na nakatakip sa Pinakabanal na Lugar ay gawa mula sa pinong telang linen na asul, kulay ube at pula, na may burdang kerubin.

Ang Dalawang Haligi(A)

15 Gumawa rin si Solomon ng dalawang haligi sa harapan ng templo na ang taas ng bawat isa ay 52 talampakan. Ang bawat haligi ay may hugis-ulo na ang taas ay pitoʼt kalahating talampakan. 16 Ang bawat hugis-ulo ng haligi ay nilagyan ng mga kadena na may nakasabit na mga palamuting ang korte ay parang prutas na pomegranata. Ang mga palamuting ito ay 100 piraso. 17 Ipinatayo niya ang mga haligi sa harapan ng templo. Ang isaʼy sa gawing timog at ang isaʼy sa gawing hilaga. Ang haligi sa gawing timog ay tinawag niyang Jakin at ang haligi sa gawing hilaga ay tinawag niyang Boaz.

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.

And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

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.

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.

And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

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.

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.

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.
