1 Kings 6:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 (A)Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the main room and the [a](B)inner sanctuary; so he made (C)side chambers all around. 6 The lowest story was [b]five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he [c]made offsets in the wall of the house all around so that the beams would not [d]be inserted into the walls of the house.
7 (D)The house, while it was being built, was built of stone finished at the quarry, and neither hammer, nor axe, nor any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built.
