1 Kings 6:3-6 ▼

3 The porch in front of the main hall of the temple was 30 feet long, corresponding to the width of the temple. It was 15 feet wide, extending out from the front of the temple.

4 He made framed windows for the temple.

5 He built an extension all around the walls of the temple's main hall and holy place and constructed side rooms in it.

6 The bottom floor of the extension was seven and a half feet wide, the middle floor nine feet wide, and the third floor ten and a half feet wide. He made ledges on the temple's outer walls so the beams would not have to be inserted into the walls.
