'Valuable' in the Bible

By royal order they supplied large valuable stones in order to build the temple's foundation with chiseled stone.

The foundation was made of large valuable stones, measuring either 15 feet or 12 feet.

All of King Solomon's cups were made of gold, and all the household items in the Palace of the Lebanon Forest were made of pure gold. There were no silver items, for silver was not considered very valuable in Solomon's time.
