Verse in context — 1 Kings 6
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
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 house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].
And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.
