1 Kings 6:16-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

16. And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls of the ceiling: he built them for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.

17. And the house, that is, the temple before the oracle, was forty cubits long.

18. And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

19. And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
