* And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold , * besides what [came ] by the dealers , and by the traffic of the merchants , and by all the kings of Arabia , and by the governors of the country . * And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold , -- he applied six hundred [shekels ] of gold to one target ; * and three hundred shields of beaten gold , -- he applied three minas of gold to one shield ; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon . * And the king made a great throne of ivory , and overlaid it with refined gold : * the throne had six steps , and the top of the throne was rounded behind ; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat , and two lions stood beside the arms ; * 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 . * And all king Solomon 's drinking vessels were of gold , and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold : none were of silver , [which ] was not of the least account in the days of Solomon . * For the king had on the sea a Tarshish-fleet , with the fleet of Hiram : once in three years came the Tarshish-fleet , bringing gold and silver , ivory , and apes , and peacocks . * And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom . * And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon , to hear his wisdom , which God had put in his heart . * And they brought every man his present , vessels of silver , and vessels of gold , and clothing , and armour , and spices , horses and mules , a rate year by year . * And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen ; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots , and twelve thousand horsemen ; and he placed them in the chariot-cities , and with the king at Jerusalem . * And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones , and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance . * And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt : a caravan of the king 's merchants fetched a drove [of horses ], at a price . * And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels ] of silver , and a horse for a hundred and fifty ; and so they brought [them ] by their means , for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria .
