The Story of King Solomon and Ashmedai
Added 2022-11-02 12:53:43 +0000 UTCA reading of The Story of King Solomon and Ashmedai (or Asmodeus, the Prince of the Demons), written circa 1340, and based on the Munich Codex of the Babylonian Talmud (Gittin 68a-b).
"The Temple, while it was being built, was made of whole, draft stones. Yet, hammers and axes, or any instrument wrought of iron, was not to be heard in the Temple while it was being built." – (1 Kings 6:7)

That verse in 1 Kings! It’s hidden in plain sight yet made zero sense to my unknowing eyes. Fascinating.
