1 Kings 7:3
"And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And it was covered with cedar above the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. On the second floor were three rows of pillars, fifteen in

a row, which made forty five, that stood to east, north, and south; and upon these pillars beams, which were the floor of the third story, over which was a roof of cedar wood.
