1 Kings 6:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 The lowest chamber was 7½ feet[a] wide, the middle was nine feet[b] wide, and the third was 10½ feet[c] wide. He also provided offset ledges for the temple all around the outside so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls. 7 The temple’s construction used finished stones cut at the quarry so that no hammer, chisel, or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.(A)
8 The door for the lowest[d] side chamber was on the right side of the temple. They[e] went up a stairway[f] to the middle chamber, and from the middle to the third.
