1 Kings 6:5-8

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.
