1 Kings 6:32

30 And he overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and outer sanctuaries.

31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.

The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.

33 In the same way he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the sanctuary entrance.

34 The two doors were made of cypress wood, and each had two folding panels.
