8 As to his house where he dwelleth, the other court [is] within the porch--as this work it hath been; and a house he maketh for the daughter of Pharaoh--whom Solomon hath taken--like this porch.
9 All these [are] of precious stone, according to the measures of hewn work, sawn with a saw, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and at the outside, unto the great court.
10 And the foundation [is] of precious stone, great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits;
11 and above [are] precious stone, according to the measures of hewn work, and cedar;
12 and the great court round about [is] three rows of hewn work, and a row of cedarbeams, even for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and for the porch of the house.
13 And king Solomon sendeth and taketh Hiram out of Tyre--
14 he [is] son of a woman, a widow, of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father a man of Tyre, a worker in brass, and he is filled with the wisdom and the understanding, and the knowledge to do all work in brass--and he cometh unto king Solomon, and doth all his work.
