    In 1 Kings 6:5, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the description of construction around the house; the APB renders the arrangement "floor upon floor around." In 1 Kings 6:6, the clause distinguishes a lower, middle, and third level, rendered by the APB as "The lower story" and subsequent stories; in 1 Kings 6:10, it renders the built level as "the story upon the whole house."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the building levels with "floor upon floor," "lower story," and "the story." These phrases show the verse-level construction context rather than a fixed English equivalent.
