1 Kings 6:7-9

The Voice

⁷ The temple was constructed out of rocks that had been finished and polished at the quarry. Not a single hammer, hatchet, or other iron tool was heard inside the temple during construction. ⁸ The entrance into the lowest^[a] level was on the right side of the temple. From there a winding staircase led up to the middle level, and from there, to the top level.

⁹ Solomon completed the temple, and he roofed it with beams and cedar boards.
