    2The temple King Solomon built for the LORD was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

    3The 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.

    4He made framed windows for the temple.

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

    6The 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.

    7As the temple was being built, only stones shaped at the quarry were used; the sound of hammers, pickaxes, or any other iron tool was not heard at the temple while it was being built.

    8The entrance to the bottom level of side rooms was on the south side of the temple; stairs went up to the middle floor and then on up to the third floor.

    9He finished building the temple and covered it with rafters and boards made of cedar.

    10He built an extension all around the temple; it was seven and a half feet high and it was attached to the temple by cedar beams.
