Commentary on 1 Kings 6:7

Theological / Devotional

Stone made ready. In order that the work of building might be carried on as noiselessly as possible, all stones were cut to size at the quarry, needing only to be fitted into their proper positions at the Temple site. This striking provision, involving much labor and care and demanding no little skill, was doubtless for the sake of reverence.

Thus even in the construction of the Temple, due regard was had to the holy purpose it was intended to serve.
