'Precious' in the Bible

Hezekiah was pleased, and showed them all his treasure house, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil and his whole armory and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

“Since you are precious in My sight,Since you are honored and I love you,I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.

Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame.

“Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies,And your gates of crystal,And your entire wall of precious stones.

Our holy and beautiful house,Where our fathers praised You,Has been burned by fire;And all our precious things have become a ruin.
