2 Chronicles 3:6

Parvaim

4 The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.

5 He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.

He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.

7 He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.

8 Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
