1 Kings 7:9

These — Buildings described here and in the former chapter. The measures — Hewed in such measure and proportion as exact workmen use to hew ordinary stones. Within, &c. — Both on the inside of the buildings which were covered with cedar, and on the outside also. To the coping — From the bottom to the top of the building. And so on — 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.
