1 Kings 5:17

17: At the king's command, the stonecutters quarried and shaped costly blocks of stone for the foundation of the Temple.

So David gave orders to call together the foreigners living in Israel, and he assigned them the task of preparing blocks of stone for building the Temple of God.

The stones used in the construction of the Temple were prefinished at the quarry, so the entire structure was built without the sound of hammer, ax, or any other iron tool at the building site.

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem. It is firm, a tested and precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never run away again.

Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (the angel used a standard human measure).
The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.

For no one can lay any other foundation than the one we already have--Jesus Christ.
Now anyone who builds on that foundation may use gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw.
