So all the work of Solomon was established from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord and until its completion; and the house of the Lord was complete.
and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul (which is the eighth month), the house was completely finished. All the details and plans were met. So he took seven years to build it.
The house was built of stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
