1 Kings 5:17-18

[17] And the king  commanded,  and they brought  great  stones,  costly  stones,  and hewed  stones,  to lay the foundation  of the house.  [18] And Solomon's  builders  and Hiram's  builders  did hew  them, and the stonesquarers:  so they prepared  timber  and stones  to build  the house.
