9 When he finished building the temple, he paneled it with boards and planks of cedar.
10 He built the chambers along the entire temple, joined to the temple with cedar beams; each story was 7 1/2 feet high.
11 The word of the Lord came to Solomon:
12 “As for this temple you are building — if you walk in My statutes, observe My ordinances, and keep all My commands by walking in them, I will fulfill My promise to you, which I made to your father David.
13 I will live among the Israelites and not abandon My people Israel.”
14 When Solomon finished building the temple,
15 he paneled the interior temple walls with cedar boards; from the temple floor to the surface of the ceiling he overlaid the interior with wood. He also overlaid the floor with cypress boards.
