Carving: Woodwork of the Temple Was Decorated with Carvings of Flowers, Cherubim, and Palm Trees

Source: Nav

1 Kings 6:18, 29, 32, 35 The cedar paneling inside the temple was carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; not a stone could be seen. / Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. / The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.
Psalm 74:6 and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.
