1Ki 3:1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of
Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David,
until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD,
and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Wise Solomon who built the temple also put a wall around
Jerusalem.
2:17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are
in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire:
come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
Walls were essential to the old world and will be in the
future world to come:

wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve

thereof, and the wall thereof.

measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to
the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Rev 21:18 And the
building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto
clear glass.

foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious
stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a
chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a
lie.
