onyx stones.{Avney shoham,} which was, probably, not the precious stone or gem called onyx, but a marble called in Greek {onychites,} which Pliny mentions as a stone Caramania; for one would hardly think that gems of any kind were used externally in such a building as the temple.

Antiquity gave both stones this name, because of their resemblance to the nail of the finger.

;

Rev. 21:18‑21• ¹⁸And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:
¹⁹the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
²⁰the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
²¹And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass. (Rev. 21:18‑21)

glistering stones.{Avney phuch} seems to denote a kind of black marble, so called from its colour resembling stibium:

so Vulgate {quasi stibinos.}marble stones.{Avney shayish} is rendered in the Targum {avney marmoraiyah,} "stones of marble," and by the LXX., and Vulgate [Parion] or [Parinon,] or {marmor Parium,} "Parium marble," which was remarkable for its bright white colour.

Josephus says that the temple was built of large blocks of white marble, beautifully polished, so as to produce a most splendid appearance.

• David had done all that was needed for God finally to be able to establish His throne at Jerusalem. (“David's Prayer: 1 Chronicles 29” by H.L. Rossier)
