2And the houseH1004 which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for YhwhH3068, the lengthH753 thereof was threescoreH8346 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof twentyH6242 cubits, and the heightH6967 thereof thirtyH7970 cubitsH520. 3And the porchH197 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the houseH1004, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 thereof, according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004; and tenH6235 cubitsH520 was the breadthH7341 thereof before the houseH1004. 4And for the houseH1004 he madeH6213 windowsH2474 of narrowH331 lightsH8261.1

5And against the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 chambersH3326 round aboutH5439, against the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 round aboutH5439, both of the templeH1964 and of the oracleH1687: and he madeH6213 chambersH6763 round aboutH5439:234 6The nethermostH8481 chamberH3326 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broadH7341, and the middleH8484 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 broadH7341, and the thirdH7992 was sevenH7651 cubitsH520 broadH7341: for without in the wall ofH2351 the houseH1004 he madeH5414 narrowed restsH4052 round aboutH5439, that the beams should not be fastenedH270 in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004.5 7And the houseH1004, when it was in buildingH1129, was builtH1129 of stoneH68 made readyH8003 before it was broughtH4551 thither: so that there was neither hammerH4717 nor axeH1631 nor any toolH3627 of ironH1270 heardH8085 in the houseH1004, while it was in buildingH1129. 8The doorH6607 for the middleH8484 chamberH6763 was in the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004: and they went upH5927 with winding stairsH3883 into the middleH8484 chamber, and out of the middleH8484 into the thirdH7992.6 9So he builtH1129 the houseH1004, and finishedH3615 it; and coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beamsH1356 and boardsH7713 of cedarH730.7 10And then he builtH1129 chambersH3326 against all the houseH1004, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 highH6967: and they restedH270 on the houseH1004 with timberH6086 of cedarH730.
