1 Kings 5 - 6
1 KingsSteve Gregg
In "1 Kings 5-6," Steve Gregg discusses the building of Solomon's temple, which took seven years to complete. Solomon received help from King Hiram, who ruled over the region of Lebanon and provided him with trees for the project. The temple was significantly larger than the tabernacle and had several rooms that were likely used for different purposes. The innermost room, the Holy Holies, was covered with pure gold and had solid gold cherubim and palm trees.
