19. And the inner sanctuary he prepared in the house inside, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
20. And the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and also covered the altar which was of cedar.
21. So Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the inner sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.
22. And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
23. And within the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24. And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the tip of the one wing unto the tip of the other were ten cubits.
25. And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.
26. The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27. And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28. And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29. And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms.
30. And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, in the inner and outer rooms.
31. And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
