1 Kings 6:16 in Context — 1 Kings 6
14 Après avoir achevé de bâtir la maison,
15 Salomon en revêtit intérieurement les murs de planches de cèdre, depuis le sol jusqu’au plafond; il revêtit ainsi de bois l’intérieur, et il couvrit le sol de la maison de planches de cyprès.
16 Il revêtit de planches de cèdre les vingt coudées du fond de la maison, depuis le sol jusqu’au haut des murs, et il réserva cet espace pour en faire le sanctuaire, le lieu très saint.
17 Les quarante coudées sur le devant formaient la maison, c’est-à-dire le temple.
18 Le bois de cèdre à l’intérieur de la maison offrait des sculptures de coloquintes et de fleurs épanouies; tout était de cèdre, on ne voyait aucune pierre.
