1 Kings 7:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ He constructed the Judgment Hall for the throne room where he would be ruling, paneling it with cedar from floor to ceiling.^{[a] 8} Solomon’s^[b] personal dwelling quarters, a separate court behind the hall, was of similar workmanship. Solomon^[c] also built a house similar to this for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom Solomon had married.

⁹ All of these were made with expensive stones, pre-cut according to specifications, hand-sawed inside and out from the foundation to the coping, including from inside to the great court.
