Commentary for I Kings 6:10
וַיִּ֤בֶן אֶת־היצוע [הַיָּצִ֙יעַ֙] עַל־כָּל־הַבַּ֔יִת חָמֵ֥שׁ אַמּ֖וֹת קֽוֹמָת֑וֹ וַיֶּאֱחֹ֥ז אֶת־הַבַּ֖יִת בַּעֲצֵ֥י אֲרָזִֽים׃ (פ)
And he built the stories of the side-structure against all the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Rashi on I Kings
Five amohs high. Of each one. Therefore, their total height was fifteen amohs besides the thickness of the ceiling.
