11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon saying,
12 "Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father.
13 I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."
14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Then he built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ceiling he overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
16 He built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, even as the most holy place.
17 The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.
