1 Kings 6:15-22

¹⁵He built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ceiling he paneled the walls on the inside with wood, and he paneled the floor of the house with boards of juniper. ¹⁶He also 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, as the Most Holy Place. ¹⁷The house, that is, the main room in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long. ¹⁸There was cedar inside the house, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers; everything was cedar, there was no stone visible. ¹⁹Then he prepared an inner sanctuary inside the house in order to place there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. ²⁰The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height; and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also paneled the altar with cedar. ²¹So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold. And he extended chains of gold across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold. ²²He overlaid the entire house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the entire altar which was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
