New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 Kings 6
²¹ So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold. And he drew chains of gold across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
²² He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar which was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
²³ Also in the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
²⁴ Five cubits was the one wing of the cherub and five cubits the other wing of the cherub; from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing were ten cubits.
²⁵ The other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of the same measure and the same form.
²⁶ The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.
²⁷ He placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the wings of the cherubim were spread out, so that the wing of the one was touching the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall. So their wings were touching each other in the center of the house.
²⁸ He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
²⁹ Then he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inner and outer sanctuaries.
³⁰ He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inner and outer sanctuaries.
³¹ For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel and five-sided doorposts.
