1 Kings 6:7
Parallel Strong's
Berean Study Bible
The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.

Young's Literal Translation
And the house, in its being built, of perfect stone brought [thither] hath been built, and hammer, and the axe—any instrument of iron—was not heard in the house, in its being built.

King James Bible
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
