The King James Version Bible

2 Chronicles 3:9-17

  1. And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

  2. And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

  3. And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

  4. And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

  5. The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

  6. And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.

  7. Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

  8. And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

  9. And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
