1 Kings 5:1
"And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David."
"Hiram, king of the wealthy city of Tyre, on the Mediterranean Sea, now sought an alliance with the king of Israel, and lent his aid to David in the work of erecting a palace at Jerusalem. Ambassadors were sent from Tyre, accompanied by architects and workmen and long trains laden with costly wood, cedar trees, and other valuable material. PP 703.3"
The EGW passage describes Hiram's alliance with David and his contribution to building David's palace, which aligns with the information in 1 Kings 5:1 about Hiram's relationship with David.
1 Kings 5:17
"And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house."
"Chapter 2—The Temple and Its Dedication The long-cherished plan of David to erect a temple to the Lord, Solomon wisely carried out. For seven years Jerusalem was filled with busy workers engaged in leveling the chosen site, in building vast retaining walls, in laying broad foundations,—“great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones,”—in shaping the heavy timbers brought from the Lebanon forests, and in erecting the magnificent sanctuary. 1 Kings 5:17 . PK 35"
EGW directly quotes 1 Kings 5:17.
