1 Kings 6:3-6
3The porch in front of the main room of the house was 1twenty cubits in 2length, 3corresponding to the width of the house, and its width along the front of the house was ten cubits. 4Also for the house 4he made windows with artistic frames. 55Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the main room and the 67inner sanctuary; so he made 8side chambers all around. 6The lowest story was 9five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he 10made offsets in the wall of the house all around so that the beams would not 11be inserted into the walls of the house.
