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.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Kings. Solomon builds his own house, palace, and other structures after completing the temple. The contrasting construction periods reveal the scale of the royal undertaking. The narrative does not directly condemn the palace, but the narrative proximity between God’s house and the royal constructions raises a question about the monarchy’s priorities. Solomon’s kingdom magnificence is connected both to worship and royal power.

Solches alles waren köstliche Steine, nach dem Winkeleisen gehauen, mit Sägen geschnitten auf allen Seiten, vom Grund an bis an das Dach und von außen bis zum großen Hof.
Todas aquellas obras fueron de piedras de precio, cortadas y aserradas con sierras según las medidas, así por de dentro como por de fuera, desde el cimiento hasta los remates, y asimismo por de fuera hasta el gran atrio.
Pour toutes ces constructions on employa de magnifiques pierres, taillées d'après des mesures, sciées avec la scie, intérieurement et extérieurement, et cela depuis les fondements jusqu'aux corniches, et en dehors jusqu'à la grande cour.
Tutte queste fabbriche, di dentro e di fuori, dal fondamento fino agli sporti delle cornici, e di fuori fino al cortil grande, erano di pietre fine, segate con la sega, della medesima misura che le pietre pulite.
Todas estas coisas eram de pedras de grande valor, cortadas à medida, serradas à serra por dentro e por fora; e isto desde o fundamento até às beiras do teto, e por fora até ao grande pátio.
建造這一切所用的石頭都是貴重的,按著尺寸鑿成,用鋸子裏外鋸齊;從根基直到房檐,從外頭直到大院,都是如此。
