1 Kings 6:23

Two cherubims. With respect to the cherubim, the pattern of the tabernacle again was followed (Ex. 37:6-9), but with some modifications. The original cherubim were entirely of gold. But those in Solomon’s Temple were much larger, and so were made of wood and then overlaid with gold. Their wings were stretched out to the full, so that the four wings, each 5 cu. long (v. 24), reached across the entire width of the Temple (v. 27).
