"Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:"
— 1 Kings 6:33, Bible in Basic English
“So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.”
And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.
For the way into the inmost room he made doors of olive-wood, the arch and the door supports forming a five-sided opening.
On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.
Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:
And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.
These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.
And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.
