Barnes' Notes
Some of these "great, hewed (no and) stones," are probably still to be seen in the place where they were set by Solomon' s builders, at the southwestern angle of the wall of the Haram area in the modern Jerusalem. The largest found so far is 38 ft. 9 in. long, and weighs about 100 tons.
