'Builders' in the Bible

So Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the men of Gebal cut and chiseled the stones, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house (temple).

Then they gave the money, which was weighed out into the hands of those who were doing the work, who had the oversight of the house of the Lord; and they paid it out to the carpenters and builders who worked on the house (temple) of the Lord,

that is, [have them give the money] to the carpenters and the builders and the masons—and to buy timber and cut stones to repair the house (temple).

They in turn gave it to the carpenters and builders to buy quarried stone and timber for couplings (trusses, braces) and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.

Now when the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with their cymbals, to praise the Lord in accordance with the directions of David king of Israel.

Do not forgive their wrongdoing and do not let their sin be wiped out before You, for they have offended the builders [and provoked You].

The stone which the builders rejectedHas become the chief corner stone.

“Your builders hurry;Your destroyers and devastatorsWill go away from you.

“Your borders are in the heart of the seas;Your builders have perfected your beauty.

Jesus asked them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:‘The [very] Stone which the builders rejected and threw away,Has become the chief Cornerstone;This is the Lord’s doing,And it is marvelous and wonderful in our eyes’?

Have you not even read this Scripture:‘The stone which the builders regarded as unworthy and rejected,This [very stone] has become the chief Cornerstone

But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is [the meaning of] this that is written:‘The [very] Stone which the builders rejected,this became the chief Cornerstone’?

This Jesus is the stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief Cornerstone.

This precious value, then, is for you who believe [in Him as God’s only Son—the Source of salvation]; but for those who disbelieve,“The [very] stone which the builders rejectedHas become the chief Cornerstone,”
