1 Kings 6:35
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.
He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold, hammered evenly over the carvings.
36 Solomon built the inner courtyard with three rows of dressed stone and one row of trimmed cedar beams.
37 The foundation of the house of the LORD was laid in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in the month of Ziv.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
