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

So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.

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