New International Reader's Version

² Solomon began building the temple on the second day of the second month. It was in the fourth year of his rule.

³ Solomon laid the foundation for God’s temple. It was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide. Solomon’s men followed the standard measure used at that time. ⁴ The porch in front of the temple was 30 feet across and 30 feet high.

Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold.
