New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Chronicles 2
¹⁵ Now then, let my lord send to his servants wheat and barley, oil and wine, of which he has spoken.
¹⁶ We will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you on rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may carry it up to Jerusalem."
¹⁷ Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, following the census which his father David had taken; and 153,600 were found.
¹⁸ He appointed 70,000 of them to carry loads and 80,000 to quarry stones in the mountains and 3,600 supervisors to make the people work.
2 Chronicles 3
¹ Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
² He began to build on the second day in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.
³ Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.
⁴ The porch which was in front of the house was as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold.
⁵ He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
⁶ Further, he adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim.
⁷ He also overlaid the house with gold-the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
