1 Kings

1 Kings 6:29–35

²⁹Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. ³⁰And he overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and outer sanctuaries.

³¹For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts. ³²The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.

³³In the same way he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the sanctuary entrance. ³⁴The two doors were made of cypress wood, and each had two folding panels. ³⁵He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
