1 Kings 5:18
_ _ and the stone squarers — The Margin, which renders it “the Giblites” (Joshua 13:5), has long been considered a preferable translation. This marginal translation also must yield to another which has lately been proposed, by a slight change in the Hebrew text, and which would be rendered thus: “Solomon’s builders, and Hiram’s builders, did hew them and bevel them” [Thenius]. These great beveled or grooved stones, measuring some twenty, others thirty feet in length, and from five to six feet in breadth, are still seen in the substructures about the ancient site of the temple; and, in the judgment of the most competent observers, were those originally employed “to lay the foundation of the house.” |
1 Kings 5:18
Stone — squarers — Heb. the Giblites, the inhabitants of Gebel, a place near Zidon, famous for artificers and architects, Joshua 13:5. These are here mentioned apart, distinct from the rest of Hiram's builders, as the most eminent of them. |
1 Kings 5:18
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's (f) builders did hew [them], and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
(f) The Hebrew word is Giblim, which some say were excellent masons. |
