2 Chronicles 3:8

The Temple’s Interior

7He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls. 8Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold. 9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
