Building Specs

The temple of the Lord,

built by King Solomon:

Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.-2 Chronicles 3:1-8***On a mountain in Moriah, Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) prepared to sacrifice Isaac, the only child born to Abraham and his wife Sarah (Sarai).  Years earlier, Abraham sent away his son Ishmael and Ishamel's mother Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. During the 40th year after Isaac was born, Isaac was married to Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to 60-year-old Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Jacob was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Levi was the 3rd son born to Jacob and Leah, and Judah was Jacob and Leah's 4th born son. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. Over 750 years after Benjamin was born near Bethlehem to Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died, Samuel was born into the tribe of Levi, Saul was born into the tribe of Benjamin, and David was born into the tribe of Judah. Samuel was a priest, prophet and judge. When Samuel was elderly, and his sons Joel (Vashni) and Abiah (Abijah) were not obeying the commands of the Lord God, and King Nahash and his Ammonite army were preparing to attack, the Israelite elders demanded that Samuel appoint a king to lead them. Samuel anointed Saul to reign as king, according to the command of the Lord God. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David to reign as king. Sometime thereafter, David began serving as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, David and Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant. The Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry. Saul wanted to kill David, and became afraid of David, and sent David on missions to get killed, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal was married to David and helped David escape from their home. After the Philistines killed Jonathan and his brothers Malchishua and Abinadab (Ishui?), and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battlefield, men from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David, and David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) ruled over the other Israelite tribes. Sometime after Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders went to David, and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed 37-year-old David, and David became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that David wanted to build a house for the Name of the Lord, a structure wherein to place the ark of the covenant of the Lord. However, due to the wars fought and blood shed, the Lord God sent Nathan the prophet to tell David that David's son and successor Solomon would be the builder. Years thereafter, David sent his nephew and army commander Joab to conduct a census. After David made another decision, the angel of the Lord began smiting Israelites to death. David saw the angel of the Lord and spoke to the Lord God. Afterwards, according to the command of the Lord God, Gad the prophet told David to build an altar to the Lord God on property that belonged to Ornan (Araunah), a Jebusite.  David built the altar of burnt offering as commanded and proclaimed the newly purchased property to be the place whereupon the house of the Lord would be built. David gave the building plans that he received from the hand of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord to Solomon. Solomon was the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, and the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. During the 4th year of Solomon's 40-year reign, workers began building the temple of the Lord on the land in Jerusalem that David bought from Ornan. Over 900 years after Rehoboam, the son born Solomon and Naamah, became the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-14:31, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-12:16, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
