1 Kings 5:12-6:13


12 And YAHUVEH gave wisdom to Solomon, as He had spoken to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they cut a covenant, the two of them.
13 And King Solomon caused a labor force to go out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses. They were a month in Lebanon, two months in their own house. And Adoniram was over the labor force.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain;
16 besides the rulers of Solomon’s overseers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who were working in the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, quarried stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders, and the Giblites, cut and prepared the wood and the stones to build the house.

*~1 Kings Chapter 6 ~*


1 And it happened in the four hundred and eightieth year from the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month of Zif, it is the second month, in the reigning of Solomon over Israel he built the house for YAHUVEH.
2 As to the house that King Solomon built for YAHUVEH, its length was sixty cubits, its breadth twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
3 As to the porch on the front of the temple of the house, its length was twenty cubits according to the breadth of the house; its breadth on the front of the house was ten cubits.
4 And he made windows of narrowing frames for the house.
5 And he built a side-structure on the wall of the house all around, against the walls of the house all around; to the Sanctuary and to the Inner Sanctuary. And he made side sections all around.
6 The lowest side-structure was five cubits wide; and the middle was six cubits wide; and the third story side-structure was seven cubits wide. For outside of the house he made narrowed ledges for the house all around, so as not to lay hold of the walls of the house.
7 And when it was being built, the house was built of finished stone made ready beforehand. And there was not heard in the house a hammer or an axe, or any iron tool, while it was being built.
8 The door for the middle side section was in the right side of the house. And they went up with winding stairs into the middle one; and from the middle one into the third.
9 And he built the house and finished it, and covered the house with beams and rows of cedars.
10 And he built the side-stories on all the house, each five cubits in height; and they held to the house with cedar wood.
11 And the Word of YAHUVEH came to Solomon, saying,
12 As to this house that you are building, if you shall walk in My statutes, and shall do My judgments, and shall do all My commandments, to walk in them, then I shall lift up My word with you which I spoke to your father David.
13 And I shall dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and shall not forsake My people Israel.

Mark 12:35-44


35 And teaching in the sanctuary, answering, YAHUSHUA said, How do the scribes say that Messiah is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, “YAHUVEH said to my Adonai, Sit off My right until I place Your enemies as a footstool under Your feet.” (Psa. 110:1)
37 Then David himself calls Him Adonai. And from where is He his son? And the large crowd heard Him gladly.
38 And He said to them in His teaching, Beware of the scribes, those desiring to walk about in long robes, and greetings in the markets,
39 and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places in the banquets,
40 those devouring the houses of widows, and for a pretense praying at length. These will receive more abundant judgment.
41 And sitting down opposite the treasury, YAHUSHUA watched how the crowd threw copper coins into the treasury. And many rich ones threw in much.
42 And coming, one poor widow threw in two lepta (which is a kodrantes).
43 And having called His disciples near, He said to them, Truly I say to you that this poor widow has thrown in more than all of those casting into the treasury.
44 For all of them gave from their abundance, but this one cast in from her need. She had cast in everything that she had, all her goods!
