1 Kings

³³So also made he for the entering of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall; ³⁴and two doors of fir wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. ³⁵And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work. ³⁶And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams. ³⁷In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Ziv. ³⁸And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
