  • 1 Kgs 6:1-9 : 1 In the four hundred eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv (the second month), he began building the house of the LORD. 2 The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. 3 The vestibule in front of the main hall of the house was twenty cubits long, extending along the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. 4 He made windows with recessed frames for the house. 5 He built a structure against the wall of the house, enclosing the walls of the house around the main hall and the inner sanctuary, and he made side chambers all around. 6 The lowest side chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide. For around the outside of the house, he made offsets on the wall so that the beams would not be embedded in the walls of the house. 7 The house, when it was being built, was constructed of finished stone cut from the quarry, so that no hammer or axe or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built. 8 The entrance to the lowest side chamber was on the south side of the house, with stairs going up to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third. 9 So he built the house and finished it, and he covered the house with beams and rows of cedar boards. 10 He also built the annex against the entire house, five cubits high, and it was attached to the house with cedar beams. 11 Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying: 12 Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and carry out my ordinances, and keep all my commandments by walking in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father. 13 And I will dwell among the people of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel. 14 So Solomon built the house and completed it.
