1 Kings 6:8 DBY

⁶  The lowest floor was five cubits broad, and the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for in the [thickness of the wall of] the house he made resets round about outside, that nothing should be fastened in the walls of the house.

⁷  And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone entirely 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 being built.

⁸  The entrance to the side-chambers of the middle [floor] was in the right side of the house; and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [floor], and out of the middle into the third.

⁹  And he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.

¹⁰  And he built the floors against all the house, five cubits high; and they held to the house by the timbers of cedar.
