New King James Version

1 Kings 6:27-33 New King James Version (NKJV)

27. Then he set the cherubim inside the inner room; and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.

28. Also he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29. Then he carved all the walls of the temple all around, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.

30. And the floor of the temple he overlaid with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.

31. For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and doorposts were one-fifth of the wall.

32. The two doors were of olive wood; and he carved on them figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.

33. So for the door of the sanctuary he also made doorposts of olive wood, one-fourth of the wall.
