1 Kings 7:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Solomon's workers used valuable, large stones to make all the buildings, from the front to the great yard that was behind. They cut the stones to the right size and shape with special saws. They used these stones for the foundations and all the way up to the roof.

¹⁰ They made the foundations with very large, valuable stones. The stones were 3.5 metres or 4.5 metres long. ¹¹ On top of the foundation they used the best stones that they cut to the right size. They also used beams of cedar wood.
