1 Kings 6:3-6

3The entrance hall in front of the main room of the temple was the same length as the shorter side of the temple. It extended 15 feet in front of the temple.

4He also made latticed windows for the temple.

5He built an annex containing side rooms all around the temple. This annex was next to the walls of the main building and the inner sanctuary.

6The ⌞interior of⌟ the lowest story of the annex was 7½ feet wide, the second story was 9 feet wide, and the third story was 10½ feet wide. Solomon made ledges all around the temple so that this annex would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
