*
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold ,
*
besides that which the traders and merchants brought ;
and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon .
*
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold ;
six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each shield .
*
And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold ;
three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield ;
and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon .
*
The king also made a great ivory throne ,
and overlaid it with pure gold .
*
The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold ,
which were attached to the throne ,
and on each side of the seat were arm rests and two lions standing beside the arm rests ,
*
while twelve lions stood there ,
one on each end of a step on the six steps .
The like of it was never made in any kingdom .
*
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 ;
silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon .
*
For the king '
s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram ;
once every three years the ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold ,
silver ,
ivory ,
apes ,
and peacocks .
*
Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom .
