Solomon[a] also constructed windows in the Temple with specially designed[b] frames.

Against the wall of the Temple he built a series of rooms that encompassed the exterior of the Temple walls around the inner sanctuary. He built these side chambers all around the building.[c] The lower structures were five cubits[d] wide, the middle structures were six cubits[e] wide and the third structures were seven cubits[f] wide. Offsets were placed all around the Temple so that beams would not protrude through the walls of the Temple.
