1 Kings 6:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

^7 (A)The house, while it was being built, was built of stone ^[a]prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.

⁸ The doorway for the ^[b]lowest side chamber was on the right side of the house; and they would go up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third. ⁹ So ^(B)he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and ^[c]planks of cedar.
