2 Chronicles 3:7 VOICE

[7] Even the supports and fasteners were gilded-the beams, the thresholds, the walls, the doors, and the nails (which weighed 20 ounces each). The walls were engraved with winged guardians, and the upper rooms were gilded. The most holy place, which was located at the rear of the temple, was a 30-foot square room gilded with 23 tons of gold-the same amount that David paid for the temple site.
