1 Kings 6:22-33 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. So all the inside of the Temple was covered with gold. Also the altar in the Most Holy Place was covered with gold.

23. Solomon made two creatures with wings from olive wood. Each creature was 15 feet tall. They were put in the Most Holy Place.

24. Each creature had two wings. Each wing was 7½ feet long. So it was 15 feet from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing.

25. The creatures were the same size and shape.

26. And each was 15 feet tall.

27. These creatures were put beside each other in the Most Holy Place. Their wings were spread out. So one creature’s wing touched one wall. The other creature’s wing touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.

28. The two creatures were covered with gold.

29. All the walls around the Temple were carved. They were carved with pictures of creatures with wings, palm trees and flowers. This was true for both the main room and the inner room.

30. The floors of both rooms were covered with gold.

31. Doors made from olive wood were put at the entrance to the Most Holy Place. The doors were made to fit into an area with five sides.

32. Creatures with wings, palm trees and flowers were carved on the two olive wood doors. Then the doors were covered with gold. And the creatures and the palm trees were covered with gold.

33. At the entrance to the main room there was a door frame. It was square and was made of olive wood.
