       1 Kings 6:33-36 King James Version (KJV)
       33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive
       tree, a fourth part of the wall.
       34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one
       door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were
       folding.
       35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open
       flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
       36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone,
       and a row of cedar beams.
       1 Kings 6:33-36 New Life Version (NLV)
       33 For the doorway of the center room he made four-sided side
       pieces of olive wood 34 and two doors of cypress wood. Each door
       had two moving parts. 35 On them he cut pictures of cherubim,
       palm trees and open flowers. And he covered the pictures with an
       even covering of gold. 36 He built the inside place with three
       rows of cut stone and one row of large pieces of cedar wood.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       33 Olive wood would have been the type of wood that would be
       commonly used for building in this area of the world and it
       being the inner building it did not have to be a stronger wood
       because the outer building would prevent this from falling down
       due disaster.
       34 The door was made of a different wood, this may be because of
       the moving parts on it.
       35 It may have also been a different type of wood simply so they
       could cut these decorations into it. Palm branches were laid
       down when Jesus came into Jerusalem for His last Passover so
       they had been symbolize royalty and maybe Solomon knowing even
       though he is king he knows who his Lord is. Cherubim were always
       within God’s presence so it shows God was in the temple.
       36 He puts stone inside this show how important this part truly
       was, stone lasts much longer than wood.
