These are corresponding chapters concerning the construction of the palace and the metal furnishings of the temple.
Solomon's palace was huge and made of stone and cedar. There was so much cedar that it was nicknamed the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. We can tell Solomon was wise because his wife (Pharaoh's daughter) had her own room.
Solomon brought in Huram from Tyre to make all the metal objects for the temple. He made a lot of decorative objects for use in the temple including 10 bronze water carts that were ornamented with lions, palm trees, and cherubim. Huram cast 2 massive bronze pillars with 200 pomegranates hanging from chains .
King David would have been proud.
