New International Reader's Version

³⁵ He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on the doors. He covered the doors with gold. He hammered the gold evenly over the carvings.

³⁶ He used blocks of stone to build a wall around the inside courtyard. The first three layers of the wall were made out of stone. The top layer was made out of beautiful cedar wood.

³⁷ The foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid in Solomon’s fourth year. It was in the month of Ziv.
