1 Kings 7:8-12

8His house where he would dwell, set farther back of the hall, was of the same construction. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom Solomon had taken to wife.

9All these were made of expensive stones—stone cut to size and sawed with saws inside and outside—from the foundation to the top and from the outside to the great court.

10The foundation was also made of expensive stones—huge stones, stones eight cubits and stones ten cubits.

11Above were expensive stones, cut to measure, and cedar wood.

12The surrounding great courtyard had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams, the same as the inner court of the House of Adonai and the portico of the House.
