1 Kings 6:5-10

[5] And against the wall  of the house  he built  chambers  round about,  against the walls  of the house  round about,  both of the temple  and of the oracle:  and he made  chambers  round about:  [6] The nethermost  chamber  was five  cubits  broad,  and the middle  was six  cubits  broad,  and the third  was seven  cubits  broad:  for without in the wall of  the house  he made  narrowed rests  round about,  that the beams should not be fastened  in the walls  of the house.  [7] And the house,  when it was in building,  of stone  made ready  before it was brought  thither: so that there was neither hammer  nor axe  nor any tool  of iron  heard  in the house,  while it was in building.  [8] The door  for the middle  chamber  was in the right  side  of the house:  and they went up  with winding stairs  into the middle  into the third.  [9] So he built  the house,  and finished  it; and covered  the house  with beams  and boards  [10] And then he built  chambers  against all the house,  five  cubits  high:  and they rested  on the house  with timber  of cedar.
