1 Kings 7:9-12

9All these were of expensive stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and from the outside to the great courtyard.

10The foundation was of expensive stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

11And above [the foundation] were expensive stones, stones cut according to measure, and cedar.

12So the great courtyard all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the inner courtyard of the house of the Lord, and the porch of the house.
