2 Chronicles 3
New King James Version
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.

Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Templo sa Jerusalem(A)
3 Ang(B) Templo ni Yahweh sa Jerusalem ay sinimulang itayo ni Solomon sa Bundok ng Moria, sa giikan ng Jebuseong si Ornan. Inihanda ni David ang pook na iyon matapos magpakita sa kanya si Yahweh. 2 Sinimulan niya ang pagtatayo noong ikalawang buwan ng ikaapat na taon ng kanyang paghahari.
3 Ito ang sukat ng Templo sa Jerusalem: dalawampu't pitong metro ang haba at siyam na metro ang luwang ayon sa matandang sukatan. 4 Ang haba ng portiko sa dakong harap ng Templo ay siyam na metro—kapantay ng luwang ng Templo at limampu't apat na metro naman ang taas. Binalutan niya ng lantay na ginto ang loob nito.
5 Ang bulwagan ay pinatakpan ni Solomon ng mga tablang sipres. Pagkatapos, pinabalutan niya ito ng purong ginto at pinalagyan ng disenyo ng mga punong palma at kadena. 6 Pinalamutian pa niya ito ng magagandang batong hiyas at gintong galing sa Parvaim. 7 Binalutan niya ng ginto ang mga biga at hamba ng mga pinto at ang mga dingding ng Templo. Pinaukitan pa niya ang mga dingding ng mga larawan ng kerubin.
8 Ang(C) haba naman ng Dakong Kabanal-banalan ay siyam na metro—kapantay ng luwang ng Templo—at siyam na metro ang luwang. Binalot din niya ito ng lantay na ginto na umabot sa 21,000 kilo, 9 at dalawampung onsa naman ang ginto na ginamit sa paggawa ng mga pako. Binalot din ng ginto ang mga dingding ng mga silid sa itaas.
10 Nagpagawa(D) siya ng dalawang rebultong kerubin na yari sa kahoy sa loob ng Dakong Kabanal-banalan. Binalot din ito ng ginto. 11 Siyam na metro ang kabuuang haba ng mga pakpak ng dalawang kerubin, dalawa't kalahating metro ang bawat isang pakpak. Ang dulo ng isang pakpak ng unang kerubin ay abot sa dingding at ang dulo naman ng kabilang pakpak ay abot sa dulo ng pakpak ng ikalawang kerubin. 12 Gayundin naman, ang dulo ng isang pakpak ng pangalawang kerubin na dalawa't kalahating metro ang haba ay abot sa kabilang dingding at ang dulo ng kabilang pakpak ay abot naman sa dulo ng pakpak ng unang kerubin. 13 Kaya't ang nasasakop ng kanilang mga pakpak ay siyam na metro. Nakatayo ang mga rebultong kerubin at parehong nakaharap sa bulwagan ng Templo.
14 Ang(E) ginamit na tabing ay mga telang hinabi sa lanang kulay asul, kulay ube, at kulay pula, at mamahaling lino. Pinaburdahan pa ito ng mga larawan ng kerubin.
Ang Dalawang Haliging Tanso(F)
15 Sa harap ng Templo, nagtayo siya ng dalawang haligi na labing-anim na metro ang taas at ang taas naman ng pinagkakabitan nito sa itaas ay dalawa't kalahating metro. 16 Nagpagawa siya ng mga kadena at isinabit iyon na parang kuwintas sa ibabaw ng mga haligi, at ikinabit sa mga kadena ang sandaang bunga ng granadang yari sa tanso. 17 Itinayo niya sa magkabilang tagiliran ng pasukan ng Templo. Ang nasa kanan ay tinawag na Jaquin at ang nasa kaliwa ay tinawag na Boaz.
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.
