9 The roof of the temple was made out of beams and cedar boards.The workers finished building the outside of the temple.
10 Storage rooms just over two metres high were all around the temple, and they were attached to the temple by cedar beams.
11 The Lord told Solomon:
12-13 If you obey my commands and do what I say, I will keep the promise I made to your father David. I will live among my people Israel in this temple you are building, and I will not desert them.
14 So Solomon's workers finished building the temple.
15 The floor of the temple was made out of pine, and the walls were lined with cedar from floor to ceiling.
16 The most holy place was in the back of the temple, and it was nine metres square. Cedar boards standing from floor to ceiling separated it from the rest of the temple.
