^14 (A)So Solomon built the house and finished it. ¹⁵ He ^(B)built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ^[a]ceiling he paneled the walls on the inside with wood, and he paneled the floor of the house with boards of juniper. ^16 (C)He also built ^[b]twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ^[c]ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, as ^(D)the Most Holy Place. ¹⁷ The house, that is, the main room in front of the inner sanctuary, was ^[d]forty cubits long. ¹⁸ There was cedar inside the house, carved in the shape of ^(E)gourds and open flowers; everything was cedar, there was no stone visible. ¹⁹ Then he prepared an inner sanctuary inside the house in order to place there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
