1 Kings 7:9
"All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

All these were of costly stones,.... Marble, porphyry, &c. according to the measure of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without; they were all hewed, and squared, and polished,

and so they appeared both on the inside of the building, and without: even from the foundation unto the coping; from the bottom to the top: and so on the outside toward the great court: where the people used to assemble when they had causes to be tried, and was adjoining to the king's house.
