2 Chronicles 3:3 in context
2 Chronicles 3:1–6
Then Solomon began to build the LORD’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
He began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
He decorated the house with precious stones for beauty. The gold was gold from Parvaim.
