2 Chronicles 3:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Solomon put gold on the Temple’s ceiling beams, doorposts, walls and doors. And he carved creatures with wings on the walls.

⁸ Then Solomon made the Most Holy Place. It was 30 feet long and 30 feet wide. It was as wide as the Temple. He covered its walls with about 46,000 pounds of pure gold. ⁹ The gold nails weighed over a pound. Solomon also covered the upper rooms with gold.
