1 Kings 6:6-8

Legacy Standard Bible

⁶ The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he ^[a]made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not ^[b]be inserted in the walls of the house.

^7 (A)The house, while it was being built, was built of stone ^[c]prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.

⁸ The doorway for the ^[d]lowest side chamber was on the right side of the house; and they would go up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.
