← 1 Kings 6:16 1 Kings 6:17 (KJV) 1 Kings 6:18 →
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.

And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
