* And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold , * besides [what ] dealers and merchants brought , and [what ] all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought of gold and silver to Solomon . * And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold , -- he applied six hundred [shekels ] of beaten gold to one target ; * and three hundred shields of beaten gold , -- he applied three hundred [shekels ] 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 pure gold ; * and the throne had six steps , with a footstool of gold fastened to the throne ; 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 : silver was not of the least account in the days of Solomon . * For the king 's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram : once in three years came the ships of Tarshish , bringing gold and silver , ivory , and apes , and peacocks . * And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom . * And all the kings of 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 , armour , and spices , horses and mules , a rate year by year . * And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots , and twelve thousand horsemen ; and he placed them in the chariot-cities , and with the king at Jerusalem . * And he ruled over all the kings from the river as far as the land of the Philistines , and up to the border of Egypt . * And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones , and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance . * And they brought to Solomon horses out of Egypt , and out of all lands .
