* And it came to pass that , the weight of the gold which came in unto Solomon in one year , was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold ; * besides the tribute of the subjugated , and of the travelling merchants , and of all the kings of Arabia , and the pashas of the land . * And King Solomon made two hundred shields , of beaten gold , six hundred of gold , laid he upon one shield ; * and three hundred bucklers , of beaten gold , one hundred and fifty shekels of gold , laid he upon one buckler , 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 gold from Uphaz . * There were , six steps , to the throne , and there was , a circular top , to the throne , behind it , and there were supports on this side and on that , unto the place of the seat , with two lions standing beside the supports ; * and , twelve lions , were standing there , upon the six steps , on this side and on that , there had never been made the like , for any of the kingdoms . * 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 was of silver , it was accounted in the days of Solomon , as nothing . * For , a fleet of Tarshish , had the king , at sea , with the fleet of Hiram , once in three years , came in the fleet of Tarshish , bringing gold and silver , ivory and apes , and peacocks . * So King Solomon became greater than any of the kings of the earth , for riches and for wisdom . * And , all the earth , did seek the face of Solomon , to hear his wisdom , which God had put in his heart . * And , they , did bring every man his presentvessels of silver , and vessels of gold , and garments , and armour , and spices , horses and mules , a rate of a year in a year . * And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen , and so it was that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots , and twelve thousand horsemen , for whom he found place in the chariot cities , and near the king , in Jerusalem . * And the king caused silver in Jerusalem to be as stones , cedars also , caused he to be as the sycamores that are in the lowlands , for abundance . * And the horses that Solomon had were , an export , out of Egypt , and , a company of the merchants of the king , used to fetch , a drove , at a price , * And a chariot came up and forth out of Egypt , for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for a hundred and fifty , and , so , for all the kings of the Hittites , and for the kings of Syria , by their means , came they forth .
