2 Chronicles 3

This chapter describes the building of the Temple in Jerusalem, located on Mount Moriah, the place where God had appeared to David (and historically, the site where Abraham offered Isaac). The detailed dimensions of the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place are given. It describes the decorative work inside, which was overlaid with gold, and the large cherubim (winged angels) that spanned the breadth of the Most Holy Place. The chapter concludes with a description of the two bronze pillars, Jachin and Boaz, placed at the entrance.
