6. The lower wing was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide, for without in the wall of the house, he had made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7. And the house, when it was built, was put together of perfect stones made ready before they were brought there; so that there was no hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built.
8. The door for the middle wing was in the right side of the house; and they went up with winding stairs into the middle wing and out of the middle into the third.
9. So he built the house and finished it and covered the house with work of cedar placed in order.
10. And then he built the wing against all the house, five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11. And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12. Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes and execute my rights and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will perform my word with thee, which I spoke unto David thy father;
13. and I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.
