2 Chronicles 9:17-23
-
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
-
18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
-
19 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.
-
20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon 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 not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
-
21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
-
22 And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
-
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
