17And the house, that is, the Temple before it, was fortie cubites long. 18And the Cedar of the house within was carued with knops, and open flowres: all was Cedar, there was no stone seene. 19And the Oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the Arke of the Couenant of the Lord. 20And the Oracle in the forepart, was twenty cubits in length and twentie cubites in breadth, and twentie cubites in the height thereof: and hee ouerlayd it with pure golde, and so couered the Altar which was of Cedar. 21So Solomon ouerlayd the house within with pure golde: and he made a partition, by the chaines of golde before the Oracle, and he ouerlaid it with gold.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 6:19
6:19 Prepared - That is, adorned and fitted it for the receipt of theark. Solomon made every thing new, but the ark. That with its mercyseat was still the same that Moses made. This was the token of God'spresence, which is with his people, whether they meet in tent or temple,and changes not with their condition.
