1 Kings5:17
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones , and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house .
Marble or Porphiry, or other Stones of great size and value.
Where they could not afterward be seen: and therefore that this was done, is mentioned onely as a point of Magnificence, except it was intended for a Type, or Mystical signification of the Preciousness of Christ, who is the foundation of the true Temple, the Church of God; as [illegible: 1+ letters]e is called, Isa. 28. 16. 1 Cor. 3. 11.
