1 Kings 6:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ And he made galleries by the wall of the House, all around, by the walls of the House all around the Temple and the oracle and made chambers all around.

⁶ And the lowest gallery was five cubits wide, and the middle six cubits wide, and the third seven cubits wide; for he made rests all around the outside of the House, so that the beams would not be fastened in the walls of the House.

⁷ And when the House was built, it was built of stone finished before it was brought, so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the House while it was being built.
