And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.

By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.

Προσεταξε δε ο βασιλευς, και μετεφεραν λιθους μεγαλους, λιθους εκλεκτους, λιθους πελεκητους, δια τα θεμελια του οικου.

And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
