1 Kings 6:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Cedar^[a] carvings in the form of gourds and blooming flowers covered the entire interior of the Temple so that no stone could be seen.

¹⁹ Solomon^[b] also prepared an inner sanctuary within the Temple where the Lord’s Ark of the Covenant was placed. ²⁰ The inner sanctuary was 20 cubits^[c] long, 20 cubits^[d] wide, and 20 cubits^[e] high, and overlaid with pure gold. The altar was also overlaid with cedar.
