Toutes ces constructions étaient de pierres de prix, taillées d'après des mesures, sciées à la scie en dedans et en dehors, des fondements aux corniches, et par dehors jusqu'au grand parvis.
Tous ces bâtiments étaient en pierres de prix, des pierres de taille selon les mesures, sciées à la scie, au dedans et au dehors, depuis les fondements jusqu'au chaperon, et depuis le dehors jusqu'à la grande cour.
Toutes ces choses étaient de pierres de prix, de la même mesure que les pierres de taille, sciées à la scie, en dedans et en dehors, depuis le fond jusqu'aux corniches, et par dehors jusqu'au grand parvis.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
All these were of costly stones,.... Marble, porphyry, c.
according to the measure of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without they were all hewed, and squared, and polished, and so they appeared both on the inside of the building, and without:
even from the foundation unto the coping; from the bottom to the top:
and so on the outside toward the great court: where the people used to assemble when they had causes to be tried, and was adjoining to the king's house.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The stones were uniform - all cut to certain fixed measures of length, breadth, and thickness. They were not squared only on the face which showed, but also on the sides which fell within the wall and were not seen. Saws appear in Assyrian sculptures of the age of Sennacherib; and fragments of an iron saw have been found at Nimrud.
