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.
1 Kings 6:32, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
These are the doors of the inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place, described as Solomon's workmen finish the temple's interior. The carved cherubim echo the two olive wood cherubim whose wings span the room, while palm trees and open flowers recall the garden imagery that runs through the temple's decoration.
