New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Chronicles 2
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.
⁸ Now he made the room of the holy of holies: its length across the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 600 talents.
⁹ The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
¹⁰ Then he made two sculptured cherubim in the room of the holy of holies and overlaid them with gold.
