The meaning of Stories in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
sto'-riz: For the King James Version "stories" (ma'aloth) in Amos 9:6, the Revised Version (British and American) reads "chambers" (in heavens); in Genesis 6:16 (ark); Ezekiel 42:3, Ezekiel 42:6 (temple), the word is supplied. the Revised Version (British and American) in the latter verse reads in the text "the third story" (margin as in the King James Version). In I Kings 6:5, I Kings 6:10, the Revised Version (British and American) has "stories" (yatsia' yatsua'; see TEMPLE), and in Ezekiel 41:6 supphes "stories."
