*
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold ;
*
Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought .
And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon .
*
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold :
six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target .
*
And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold :
three hundred shekels 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 pure gold .
*
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 :
*
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 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 .
*
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 .
*
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom .
