1 Kings 6:3-6

3The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits1 long, extending across the width of the temple and projecting out ten cubits2 in front of the temple.

4He also had narrow windows framed high in the temple.

5Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms. 6The bottom floor was five cubits wide,3 the middle floor six cubits,4 and the third floor seven cubits.5 He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.
