1 Kings 6:2-10

2And the houseH1004 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for Jehovah, the lengthH753 thereof was threescore cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520. 3And the porchH197 before the temple of the houseH1004, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 thereof, according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004; and tenH6235 cubitsH520 was the breadthH7341 thereof before the houseH1004. 4And for the houseH1004 he madeH6213 windowsH2474 of fixed lattice-work. 5And against the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 stories roundH5439 about, against the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH5439 about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he madeH6213 side-chambers roundH5439 about. 6The nethermost story was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broad, and the middleH8484 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 broad, and the thirdH7992 was sevenH7651 cubitsH520 broad; for on the outsideH2351 he madeH5414 offsets in the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH5439 about, that the beams should not have holdH270 in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004. 7And the houseH1004, when it was in buildingH1129, was builtH1129 of stoneH68 made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammerH4717 nor axeH1631 nor any tool of ironH1270 heardH8085 in the houseH1004, while it was in buildingH1129. 8The doorH6607 for the middleH8484 side-chambers was in the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004: and they wentH5927 up by winding stairs into the middleH8484 story, and out of the middleH8484 into the thirdH7992. 9So he builtH1129 the houseH1004, and finishedH3615 it; and he coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beams and planks of cedar. 10And he builtH1129 the stories against all the houseH1004, each fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high: and they rested on the houseH1004 with timber of cedarH730.
