1 Kings 6:3-6

3The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple.

4He made narrow windows high up in the temple walls.

5Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.

6The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
