1 Kings 7:8-12

8And his house where he was to live, the other courtyard inward from the hall, was of this same workmanship. 1He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, 2whom Solomon had married.

9All of these were made of valuable stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the 3coping, and from the outside to the large courtyard.

10And the foundation was of valuable stones, large stones, stones of 4ten cubits and stones of eight cubits. 11And above were valuable stones, cut according to measure, and cedar. 12So 5the large courtyard all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams as well as the inner courtyard of the house of the Lord, and 6the porch of the house.
