1 Kings 6:32

He also covered the house with gold—the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.

And now its carved work altogether They smash with hatchet and hammers.

And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has founded forever.

There were shuttered windows looking toward the guardrooms and toward their side pillars within the gate all around, and likewise for the porches. And there were windows all around inside; and on each side pillar were palm tree ornaments.

It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,

The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door.
