1 Kings 7:10-12 King James Version (KJV)
10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones,
stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed
stones, and cedars.
12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed
stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of
the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
1 Kings 7:10-12 New Life Version (NLV)
10 The base of the building was made with large stones of much
worth. The stones were as long as five long steps, and four long
steps. 11 Above this were stones of much worth, cut to go well
into place, and cedar. 12 The largest room had three rows of cut
stone around it, and a row of cedar pieces. The same was around
the open space in the house of the Lord, and the porch of the
house.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
10 These stones are not mentioned what they are stones could be
valuable because or rarity or because of it being one of the
precious stones, the stones also perhaps could have been
valuable because of their great size large stones are not as
easy to come by as many small stones. What type of stones are we
building ourselves with, stones from the Lord or from this
world?
11 So again more stones of worth, these are not anything more
then for the flooring, to want to walk on things of worth here
does not show that money means nothing but shows his wealth.
Heaven is paved with streets of gold because gold does not mean
anything there, it meant much to Solomon.
12 Solomon is building his home you got to think which did he
want to build more his home or the house of God. Are we as
Christians trying to build ourselves up as much as we try to
build up God?
