1 Kings 7:9-12
7:9 All of these were built with the best
stones, chiseled to the right size
and cut with a saw on all sides,
from the foundation to the edge of the roof
and from the outside to the great courtyard.
7:10 The foundation was made of large valuable stones, measuring either 15 feet or 12 feet.
7:11 Above the foundation
the best
stones, chiseled to the right size,
were used along with cedar.
7:12 Around the great courtyard were three rows of chiseled stones and one row of cedar beams, like the inner courtyard of the
Lord’s temple and the hall of the palace.
1 Kings 10:27
10:27 The king made silver as plentiful
in Jerusalem as stones; cedar was
as plentiful as sycamore fig trees are in the lowlands.
Malachi 1:4
1:4 Edom says, “Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places.” So the Lord who rules over all responds, “They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as the land of evil, the people with whom the Lord is permanently displeased.
