12. “Obey all my laws and commands. If you do, I will do for you what I promised your father David.
13. And I will live among the children of Israel in this Temple you are building. I will never leave the people of Israel.”
14. So Solomon finished building the Temple.
15. The inside walls were covered from floor to ceiling with cedar boards. The floor was made from pine boards.
16. A room 30 feet long was built in the back part of the Temple. It was divided from the rest of the Temple by cedar boards reaching from floor to ceiling. It was called the Most Holy Place.
17. The main room, the room in front of the Most Holy Place, was 60 feet long.
18. Inside the Temple was cedar. It was carved with pictures of flowers and plants. Everything inside was covered with cedar. So a person could not see the stones of the wall.
19. He prepared the inner room at the back of the Temple to keep the Ark of the Covenant with the Lord.
