King James Version (KJV)

And {there was} an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house {was still} upward, and so increased {from} the lowest {chamber} to the highest by the midst. {there...: Heb. it was made broader, and went round}

Modern English

The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.
