1 Kings 6:11

Verse 11 of 38. The 6th of 22 chapters in 1 Kings, in History.

7The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.

8The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.

9So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.

10He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.

11The LORD’s word came to Solomon, saying,

12“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.

13I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”

14So Solomon built the house and finished it.

15He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
