1 Then Solomon began to build the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the site David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 He began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 These are Solomon’s foundations for building God’s temple: the length was 90 feet, and the width 30 feet.
4 The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was 30 feet wide; its height was 30 feet; he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold.
