1 Kings 6:8, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse describes a detail of the temple Solomon built in Jerusalem: the doorway into the lowest of the side chambers that wrapped around the building, placed on its south side, with a stairway rising to the middle and then the top level. The narrator is explaining how the three floors of rooms were reached, since verse 6 notes that the outer walls were stepped back so beams would not pierce the temple's walls.
