1 Kings 6:5

Solomon Builds The Temple For Yahweh

⁴ He made windows for the Temple. Their openings were narrower on the outside than on the inside. ⁵ Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the nave and the inner sanctuary; thus he made side chambers all around. ⁶ Each room in the lowest story was seven and one half feet wide. The middle story was nine feet wide. The top story was ten and one half feet wide. The Temple wall on each floor was thinner than on the floor below, so that the rooms could rest on the wall without having their beams built into it.
