8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house, and it had winding stairs into the middle chamber and out of the middle into the third.
9 So he built the house and finished it and covered it with beams and boards of cedar.
10 Then he built chambers against the whole house, five cubits high, and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12 “Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My judgments and keep all My commandments and walk in them, then I will carry out My word with you, which I spoke to David your father,
13 and I will dwell among the people of Israel and will not forsake My people Israel.”
14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.
