- 2 Chronicles 3:1–3:9
Extends gold and carved cherubim across beams, posts, walls, and doors. Read 2 Chronicles 3:7 within 3:1–3:9. The complete unit records: The temple site is linked with David and Ornan, dated to Solomon's fourth year, and described through dimensions, gold, wood, stone, and carved cherubim.
Why It Needs Context
Extends gold and carved cherubim across beams, posts, walls, and doors. Its responsible force depends on 3:1–3:9; isolated from “The temple rises on Moriah,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
