*
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold ,
*
Beside that he had of the merchantmen ,
and of the traffick of the spice merchants ,
and of all the kings of Arabia ,
and of the governors of the country .
*
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold :
six hundred shekels of gold went to one target .
*
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 .
*
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory ,
and overlaid it with the best gold .
*
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 .
*
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 pure gold ;
none were of silver :
it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon .
*
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 .
*
So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom .
*
And all the earth sought to 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 garments ,
and armour ,
and spices ,
horses ,
and mules ,
a rate year by year .
*
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen :
and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots ,
and twelve thousand horsemen ,
whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots ,
and with the king at Jerusalem .
*
And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones ,
and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale ,
for abundance .
*
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt ,
and linen yarn :
the king '
s merchants received the linen yarn at a price .
*
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver ,
and an horse for an hundred and fifty :
and so for all the kings of the Hittites ,
and for the kings of Syria ,
did they bring them out by their means .
