1 Kings 7:9

All these buildings described here and in the former chapter. According to the measures of hewed stones; either first, which were hewed in such measure and proportion, as exact workmen used to hew ordinary stones; or, secondly, as large as common hewed stones, which are oft very great. Within and without; both on the inside of the buildings which were covered with cedar, and on the outside also. From the foundation unto the coping; from the bottom to the top of the building. On the outside toward the great court; not only on the outside of the front of the house, which being most visible, men are more careful to adorn; but also of the other side of the house, which looked towards the great court belonging to the king's house.
