1 Kings 6:23-30 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.
