1 Kings 10:16-23
-
16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
-
17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
-
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
-
19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
-
20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
-
21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
-
22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
-
23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
