And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.

All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Ziv.

In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof with the loss of Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates thereof with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.
