← 1 Kings 7:8	1 Kings 7:9 (KJV)	1 Kings 7:10 →
And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within the porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken [to wife], like unto this porch.	All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the outside toward the great court.	And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
